Synopsis "Hero Squared, Vol.1"

Collecting the sold-out X-Tra Sized Special one-shot - which was such a success that it lead to a three issue miniseries - this book is packed with extras. In print for the first time will be the popular web comic promotion that Keith Giffen plotted and penciled, and which DeMatteis scripted along with Giffen's original character designs and Joe Abraham's concept sketches. Also in print for the first time is a Keith Giffen plot, which can now be compared side-by-side with DeMatteis' final script!

Jean-Marc DeMatteis is an American writer known for his emotional and philosophical approach to comics, particularly in the superhero and fantasy genres. Throughout his career, he has worked on iconic titles such as Spider-Man (1980-1981), Superman (various issues starting from 1987) and Moonshadow (1985), a cult work that explores existential themes through a lyrical and surrealistic approach. His style is characterized by a deep treatment of characters and a narrative that often transcends the typical superhero comic.

DeMatteis has been acclaimed for his ability to blend human drama with the fantasy genre, creating stories that address themes such as redemption, morality, and identity. Although he has not received notable awards, his legacy has been forged through his influence on contemporary comics and his ability to move readers with stories that explore the depths of the human soul.
