A GROUP of boys has been transformed into comic book super heroes in a bid to learn more about local heritage.
Eight youngsters, aged between ten and 12, have spent every Monday teatime for the past six weeks at Redcar's Central Library.
Working with local artist Helen Shannon, the project has been funded by English Heritage to encourage youngsters to read local history fiction by Whitby-based author Theresa Tomlinson.
The end product is an exhibition of their work, including their own comic strips.
Redcar Borough Councillor Dave Fitzpatrick said: "From the first session they engaged immediately with the artwork."
