List of Heroes graphic novels
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of issues of NBC's Heroes webcomic, which supplements the television drama of the same name. The comics, which NBC refers to as "graphic novels", are made available on their official website each Monday.[1] Written by the show's writers and drawn by Aspen Comics[2], they are generally 7-9 pages long, the first page of which is always an advertisement for the Nissan Versa, one of the sponsors for the series. The comics give additional character background and plot information not shown in the television episodes.
The comics are available in both PDF and Flash formats; the PDF versions are linked below. The Flash versions often offer a link to a hidden easter egg, also listed below.
