The story’s opening page shows an artist’s hand inking the image of Superman, as the artist Vince objects to doing the work. He and his father, also a comic book artist, discuss Vince’s dissatisfaction with depicting superheroes in response to the September 11 terrorist attacks. On the final page, the father gives tribute to those who perished in the tragedy, but also asserts, “We help our country cope with tragedies like this one. We make people think, we help them laugh again, or maybe we just give them a place to escape for a little while.” Peter Woods and Keith Champagne apply skills gained from years of portraying superheroes to depict this engaging story with dramatic flair.
