Dana Perkins, writer of The Mighty Thor Saga (published by Marvel Comics) and Framingham Public Library Children’s staff member
Hercules. Apollo. 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! Refreshments. 

This is a Dream Big – READ! Adult Summer Reading event open to all.
