Many are familiar with popular Marvel and DC superheroes, like Iron Man, Captain America, Batman, Cat Woman and more but there’s a new superhero on the scene that is representing the Puerto Rican and Hispanic community, La Borinqueña.

This superhero is used to tell stories about Puerto Rico’s history, present-day social and environmental issues, and celebrate the diversity and cultures within the Puerto Rican community.

On The Spark Thursday we discussed the new graphic novel superhero, its impact on the community, and the upcoming Pennsylvania College of Art & Design La Borinqueña exhibit and programming with Edgardo Miranda-Rodiguez, award winning Graphic Novelist and Creator of La Borinqueña and Alex Schaufele, Director of Exhibitions at Pennsylvania College of Art & Design.
