Marvel has announced that an anti-bullying programme will be held in October. The company will collaborate on a campaign with bullying and cyber-bullying prevention organisation STOMP Out Bullying, reported Ace Showbiz.
To raise awareness of National Bullying Prevention Month, Marvel heroes Captain America, the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy and others will appear on special edition comic covers. “The centre of Marvel’s storytelling history is the eternal struggle between good and evil, with many of its greatest Super Heroes having to contend with — and rise above — bullying, in all its forms,” Marvel Comics’ Editor in Chief Axel Alonso said of the campaign.
“We are proud to join forces with STOMP Out Bullying on its important bullying prevention awareness mission. We hope that all our fans take a moment this month to educate themselves on the need to stop bullying among our youth by checking out the free resources STOMP Out Bullying has to offer.”
