Edmund Hillary was a humble beekeeper from New Zealand, who dreamed of adventures he could never hope to experience. Everest was the ultimate adventure, its peak the highest point on Earth, stretching beyond the clouds. In 1953, Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary joined a team of explorers determined to reach its top. Armed with little more than their courage, their determination and a belief in each other, would that be enough to achieve the impossible, what no man had done before?

1st printing. Written by Jason Quinn. Art and cover by Sachin Nagar. Gandhi: Apostle of Peace is the second title by Jason Quinn for Campfire's Heroes line. "My life is my message."
