Wijze woorden van Superhelden

Superhelden kinderachtig? Welnee. Ze zijn een bron van inspiratie en motivatie voor miljoenen mensen wereldwijd. Doing the right thing, op het rechte pad blijven en niet kiezen voor het kwade. Wij zijn uiteraard fan van superhelden. Adam Thompson creëerde de serie Heroic Words of Wisdom en koos een aantal van zijn favoriete quotes.

“Superheroes already have a prominent place in pop culture. Their images can be seen anywhere. As a fan I enjoy seeing the strength of these characters in the spotlight, but because I am looking to reach a new audience, I needed to find a new light. I had to consider that comic books are a series of images accompanied by dialogue, and since it’s the images that are already so prominent, I decided to focus on the dialogue.

In my mind, one of the most famous pieces of comics dialogue is the oath sworn by Green Lantern. I gave this some deeper thought and realized that the oath is, in a way, applicable to real life. Anyone, should they choose, can swear an oath to stand against evil. Then it hit me. Have all comic heroes said things that are applicable in real life? Have they all said things that can inspire any of us, comic fan or not?”
