HERO HIGH

NINTH GRADE JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT TOUGHER…

FARLEY FLYNN IS A GRADE NINE KID WHO MOVES FROM THE BIG CITY OF DOMINION (WHICH IS FULL OF SUPERHEROES AND COOL) TO THE SMALL TOWN OF MEEKTON (WHICH HAS NOTHING AND IS REALLY BORING). WHAT NO ONE KNOWS IS THAT FARLEY HAS A SECRET IDENTITY… HE’S THE SKATEBOARDING CRIMEFIGHTER KNOWN AS MOONDOG, AND HE’S GOT A HUNCH THAT THIS TOWN IS NOT QUITE AS NORMAL AS IT SEEMS. ‘HERO HIGH’ IS AN ALL-AGES COMIC ABOUT SECRETS, SPIES, SUPERHEROES AND THE SEARCH FOR THE MEANING OF ‘NORMAL’.

WRITTEN BY DYLAN EDWARDS, ILLUSTRATED BY DIEGO SIMONE AND PUBLISHED BY ZEROS2HEROES AS PART OF THE COMIC CREATION NATION CAMPAIGN, HERO HIGH WAS SELECTED AS A ‘PEOPLE’S CHOICE’ AND RELEASED AS A DIGITAL COMIC BOOK. THIS IS THE FIRST MAJOR STEP IN BRINGING IT TO MAINSTREAM ENTERTAINMENT STUDIOS – COULD HERO HIGH BE THE NEXT HARRY POTTER? THE FANS WILL BE THE ONES TO DECIDE!
