Nobody's Immune To Breast Cancer
I can't mention 'Comics' and 'Curing Breast Cancer' in the same breath without sharing this wonderful ad campaign by DDB Mozambique with you.
Illustrated by Maísa Chaves, this four ad print campaign features famous female superheroes (She-Hulk, Wonder Woman, Storm and Catwoman):
The above ads feature the copy “Nobody’s immune to breast cancer. When we talk about breast cancer, there’s no women or superwomen. Everybody has to do the self-examination monthly. Fight with us against the enemy and, when in doubt, talk with your doctor.”
