Uncover the origins and evolution of your favourite comic superheroes and learn how to design and illustrate your very own

Top comic artist Gary Erskine and Mhairi Stewart from Perfect Spiral team up to uncover the origins and evolution of our favourite comic superheroes and will show you how to design and illustrate your very own.

Ever noticed how Batman's shorts are much bigger in old comics? Or how Wonder Woman’s skirt is a little longer? Did they look better then or now? Or just a little bit different? We will show you how the costumes have changed with fashion and get you to create your own superhero, or supervillain, and dress them in styles gone by.
