The Wellington Comic Lover’s Guide to… Teen Heroes from the DCU

Welcome to the Wellington Comic Lover’s Guide, where we take you through the Wellington City Libraries’ collection of a comic book character or series.

DC has started putting out the snappily named Graphic Novels for Young Adults which are stand-alone comics with young DC characters who don't always appear in the mainstream DC continuity. These teenage heroes, from the futuristic Legion of Super-Heroes to the electrifying Static, deserve their turn in the spotlight, whether or not they're part of a long-running series!
