Review of
American
Honda Presents DC Comics Supergirl
Five out of five stars
Comic books can
be used for many things, in general they are underutilized as a training and
educational tool. Especially when they are targeted at children. If the message
is a simple and important one, a comic book can effectively educate. This comic
is designed to teach the effectiveness of the use of seat belts and it stars
Supergirl. Supporting players include the three little pigs and the big bad
wolf. The content was produced with the cooperation of the U. S. Department of
Transportation’s National Safety Belt program.
Lacking a real
villain, the story is weak concerning the usual good versus evil face-off. Yet,
it helps reinforce a valuable lesson that children must learn, if the car is
moving, then you must be buckled in. Easy to read and understand, this is a
comic that can literally save lives. It reminded me of some of the content of
the Batman television show of the sixties, where Batman lectures Robin about
the importance of buckling up. While we will never know the count, it is
certainly true that lives were saved because of what Batman said and did.
