What do superheroes do when Gotham City or Metropolis is not in danger? Spiderman’s web has to be good for something besides for fighting crime. Ever think about how our comic book heroes survive the real life?
More importantly is how the real life superheroes--regular people working hard to support their families--live real life. This is why photographer Dulce Pinzon has highlighted Mexican immigrant workers. She photographed the workers at their real jobs dressed like famous fictional comic book characters such as Batman, Superman and Catwoman.
They may not be able to leap a tall building in a single bound, but these everyday heroes and heroines save the day for their families everyday.
