Superman to the Rescue, but Can He Teach Mine Awareness? by Margaret S. Busé, MAIC (Mine Action Information Center) : "When Wonder Woman and Superman joined forces to promote mine awareness for children through the efforts of the U.S. Department of Defense, DC Comics and UNICEF, the landmine community was divided as to the usefulness, and ultimately, the success of the effort. Originally released in Bosnia in 1996, a second comic book in Spanish was released for children in Latin America in 1998.

A third comic book was developed for children of Mozambique but a release date for the book is not scheduled. Currently, the Kosovo version of the comic book is being released in the school system through UNICEF and through NGOs operating in the area. Originally, the Kosovo version of the comic book was designed to be released for children in the refugee camps." Story in the New York Times Story at Unicef.org More at Psywarrior
