History
Art Townes was a man who shunned society because they thought he was too ugly. He became navigator on the Mole a giant machine that was designed to bore down to the Earth's core, and served alongside Jan Court and Fred Mace. The trio discovered an underground kingdom, which had a city of people and it's own sun and moon. They discovered the people down here were sorcerers who gave each of the three the appearance of their hearts desires, so Art appeared to those believed to be tall and handsome. Art and the others decided to permanently live in the city.[1]
