‘They can acquire an animal appearance, they can fly and even cast flames through their eyes. Those are a few of the super-powers our fiction heroes have. The little ones and grown-ups in the house have, at some time or another, dreamt of having those superhuman qualities. What would it be like to be able to travel in time?

It is precisely this feature, among others, what has motivated an enormous enthusiasm and fascination about comics, together with what they represent and to their particular style and aesthetics. So we are surrounded by these superpeople in films as well as in advertising, design, fashion or art. There is always a good reason to make a superheroe be put in appearance!
Sandra Chevrier, for instance, shows a gang of superheroes in her series titled Cages.’
