Does Hercules have a feat of holding up the earth in comics?

If so was it shown?

Questions thread. The Labors have been mentioned so it could be assumed that other parts of mythology were things he did in comics. I'm almost certain it's never been shown.

if true then it not as impressive as one might think.

He had help doing it which I don't think is common knolwedge to msot people

The most I've ever seen, is Herc reference that 'labor':

But I, like Sym, don't think said feat has ever been shown on panel. *shrugs*

I actually think he was shown on panel doing it but I think it was him recalling his labors.

Nut I'm pretty sure it showed him with the world on his shoulders.

oh in mythology it was on his shoulders, but what many do realizes is behind him athena is hold the world up with one hand wit eases ( which means she was the one really doing it)

where does Hercules stand on when he lifts Earth?

I've read several variations of the Herakles myth.

In none of them have I ever heard that Athena helped or held the world herself. What is your source?

one statue does not override the overwhelming majority of texts that state otherwise
