The Philippine Star

March 31, 2014 | 12:00am

MANILA, Philippines - In April, we go deeper into how our favorite characters and how fantasy had helped shape culture. Superheroes: A Never-Ending Battle is a three-episode docu on the origin of the comic book genre and its legacy through the years.

The docu also studies the evolution of its characters for the past 75 years, especially its impact during the Depression where many superhero characters opened new opportunities for artists and writers.

Superheroes airs on Solar News Channelâ€™s Stories tomorrow, April 3 and April 4 at 8 p.m. with weekend replays on April 5 and 6.
