Comic books have long been the stuff of fantasy.They have provided an escape into a world where evil gets punished and the good guy always wins. In recent years, comic books started to tackle social issues and give voice to situations that had long gone unnoticed. Batman and Superman helped teach children about the danger of landmines and the Green Lantern and Spiderman tackled drug abuse.
