NYCC Photo Gallery: 'Create Your Own Superhero' Kids Day Event

Building a better superhero was child's play this weekend at NYCC

Sunday afternoon, John Gallagher led a standing-room-only workshop for kids to create their own comic book heroes. Gallagher, creator of Buzzboy and NASCAR Heroes, cited his own work as a model. For example, his villain, Doc Cyber, a mad scientist, saw the error of his ways and decided to use his abilities for good, thus becoming a baker. John then suggested his students create a character who is "just like you."

The results? See for yourself!

Hello Martha Thomases,
I have a question about one of the pictures in this article. We would like to use one for a publication (not for commercial use and very low circulation) of a new kind of museum in Holland that is called PLAY.
Can you please email me so I can tell you more?
Thank you very much!
