Dave Frank Awesome idea! I think there’s merit in today’s world to give kids insight into why “bad” people do bad, especially with what they may hear about, but tied into something they can relate to. Great show tonight guys!!!
Full of feats, follies, and colorful illustrations, Dear Justice League gives readers the inside scoop into everyday heroics, no matter who wears the cape!
