Superheroines Cop a Feel for a Good Cause
 |
?An artist in Mozambique has drawn four superheroines — Wonder Woman (above), She-Hulk, Storm and Catwoman — giving themselves breast exams to check for breast cancer. While they were commissioned by the DDB Mozambique advertising agency, I don’t believe these are official — certainly there are no Marvel or DC logos on the posters, which I think Marvel and DC would insist on — however, it’s a very neat idea and a very good cause, and it would be very cool to see these come to America. It would probably be effective, too. Anyways, you can see the other three posters at The Mary Sue.
