Superhero fans assemble! This is the first major exhibition dedicated to the depiction of foundlings, orphans, adoptees and foster kids in comics. It’s definitely a rich seam of storytelling to explore – after all, Black Panther is known as ‘the Orphan King’; Spider-Man’s parents die in a plane crash, and Batman’s parents are killed in a street robbery. The exhibition runs for five months and entry is included with the price of admission to the Foundling Museum.
