Inspired by the upcoming movie, Supergirl The World is an anthology graphic novel that features eight unique stories each set in a different country infused with the unique artistic and cultural flavor of that region.

These children (later referred to as “Pedro Pans”) would be distributed across the U.S., living in foster homes with many never seeing their families again. For literature fans, Virginia Woolf: The Graphic Novel explores Woolf's creative brilliance and her passionate, complicated relationship with Vita Sackville-West.
