DC SUPER HERO ORIGIN STORIES
(W) Michael Robin
Where did Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and their super hero friends come from? Each origin story is a thrilling, self-contained bedtime story. Baby Kal-El makes a dramatic escape from the planet Krypton, arriving on Earth in a rocket ship. Wonder Woman and Nubia are shaped out of clay by their mother Hippolyta, and given their powers by the gods. Each Green Lantern-Hal Jordan, John Stewart, and Jessica Cruz-came by their power rings in interesting ways. Young super heroes will love learning about how their favorite characters came to be.
