Four-Color Heroes follows two boys from wildly different worlds who find love and self-discovery through the pages of a comic book. The coming-of-age romance is set in a New Zealand high school prior to the passing of the Civil Union Act 2004 (which allowed same-sex couples to enter into a civil union). As tensions rose nationwide over the basic equal rights of same-sex couples, two boys were fighting a battle on a smaller scale, against enemies from within and without. The graphic novel also features an essay by clinical psychologist Dr. Drea Letamendi on protecting the mental health of LGBTQ+ youth.
