As you probably know from their coverage of the Return of Captain America, the New York Daily News has always been a comics-friendly newspaper.
But this story, while a bit more low-key, is equally cool, as a 13-year-old Brooklyn student named Hakeem Bennett has been put in a Superman book called “The Kid Who Saved Superman.”
Bennett was selected after winning an essay contest about his real-life hero, teacher Matthew Brown. Brown is visually-impaired, with tunnel vision in one eye and complete blindness in the other.
“He’s a role model to me… He helps you if you need help with anything. He’s always there,” Bennett said about his teacher. “I’m excited to show everyone the book. Now I’ve got bragging rights… I’m proud of myself. If you go to school and do good, good will come out of it.”
