Comic tribute to 11 September

Comic book artists are best-known for chronicling the world-saving adventures of mythical characters blessed with miraculous powers.

But in a new exhibition of comic book art recently opened in New York, it is the real human courage of 11 September that is honoured.

Powerful images from the day the twin towers of the World Trade Center were attacked have been interpreted by some of the top comic book artists and graphic novelists in the US.

Among the contributors are John Romita Snr, the man who drew Spider-Man, and Alex Ross, the artist behind the Batman and X-Men comics.
