NEW YORK — He rides in a bulletproof car, wears a cape, a big hat and has dedicated his life to fighting evil.
The new Superman? No. The movie-version Spider-Man? Think again.
It's the pope.
The Vatican has given the nod to publishing groups in London and Boston to bring the English-language story of John Paul II, the man once known as Karol Wojtyla, to comic-book life. The comics will also be printed in French, Polish and Korean.
"The main character of these comics is a hero of witness and he hasn't superpowers such as Batman's or Superman's," Father Antonio Tarzia, the director of Italian children's magazine Il Giornalino, wrote in an e-mail. "His strength is the ability to talk to the heart of young people, to interact with their fantasy and cleverness, [to use eloquent] dialogue, to introspect and explore consciousness."
The publishers of Il Giornalino, which first printed the story in Italian in December 2000, and has also made comic-book bios of Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi, saw in the life story of Pope John Paul II the makings of a comic as strong as the Incredible Hulk, as stirring as the Cyclone. And inspiring enough to get younger audiences interested in the Catholic Church, Tarzia added.
