FAQ About The Role of Cultural Mythology in Superhero Comics

Are there superhero universes entirely based on specific cultural mythologies?
While many superhero universes borrow from multiple mythologies, some comics focus specifically on a single cultural mythology. For example, Neil Gaiman's 'The Sandman' series incorporates multiple mythologies but delves deeply into specific ones at times. Titles such as 'Kamandi' explore worlds with a strong influence from particular cultural myths, though entire universes are rare.
