New York, NY—January 26, 2016—
This spring, a special Marvel Comics storyline will delve into the
trials, perseverance, and eventual triumph of wounded veterans aided and
informed by one
of the leading non-profit organizations dedicated to these wounded
service members – Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP). The upcoming arc of
Marvel Comics’
VENOM: SPACE KNIGHT will take readers through a powerful story that sees Flash Thompson abandon the alien suit, which has afforded him the ability to walk, to receive prosthetic
legs. Writer Robbie Thompson consulted with WWP spokesperson and double amputee Dan Nevins to
portray an eye-opening look at the everyday struggles and
incremental victories that wounded veterans face as depicted through
Flash Thompson’s rehabilitation process in the story.
