Evocative tribute to the orphaned caped crusader: Superheroes, Orphans & Origins at the Foundling Museum reviewed

A fascinating flick through 125 years of comic strips and their orphaned, abandoned, adopted or fostered heroes and heroines

Marvellously evocative: Taiyo Matsumoto’s manga series Sunny is about a group of friends from a children’s home who make their base in an abandoned Nissan Datsun Sunny. The artist spent six years in a similar home. Credit: © taiyo matsumoto
