Health Heroes Comics 2nd Edition

Health Heroes Comics - Let's Move Edition

Kids become superheroes for health and co-create a comic book that teaches youth about the benefits of exercise, nutrition, and teamwork.

Empowering youth to foster healthy habits is no easy task, but several research studies have uncovered an unlikely yet life-saving education medium - comic books.

Frustrated by the lack of material to educate youth about health in their language and at their level, Health Heroes' founder, Eric Paul Meredith, had the great idea to bring comic book professionals, youth and health experts together to create health-themed comic books.  

Health Heroes' Superheroes in the Classroom after school program allows youth to explore a health topic of interest, create a comic to convey cool, kid-friendly health messages and publish their work for their peers and the general public to enjoy. 


The purpose of this project involves working with youth to co-create and self-publish a health-themed comic book about exercise, healthy eating, and teamwork. The second edition was inspired by Michelle Obama's Let's Move initiative. We want to compensate our creative team of comic book professionals and produce at least 5,000 complimentary copies to share with children in the Chicago area.

By donating to this project, you will help us produce a commercially viable comic and publish enough copies for our young co-authors to share their work with the public.
