Super Heroes at the Library!


Avengers Assemble: Super Heroes as Modern Mythology,

Ages 8 and up

Thor.  Hercules.  Zeus.  While these figures from mythology are thousands of years old, you might be surprised to find that they share a lot more in common with comic and movie superstar attractions like Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Superman than you think! So join us as we discuss the pop culture phenomenon known as Super Heroes, from their not-so humble beginnings in the Golden Age of comics, the rise of Marvel in the Sixties, to their current incarnations today. With a special emphasis on The Mighty Thor and The Avengers! Learn about the history of Super Heroes such as Superman and Spider-Man and hear what they have in common with heroes from mythology including Mighty Thor and the Avengers. Then create your own comic strip!
