The World

The UN has announced they’re teaming up with Marvel Comics to publish a free comic book showing superheroes working alongside of UN officials to solve real world problems. They’re appealing to children – initially it’s going to be given to one million U.S. school children. Fair Game’s Matt Pack spoke to the BBC’s Thomas Lane to ask why.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?
