About the series
In the late 1990s, DC Comics took a playful, soap-operatic spin on the superhero team concept with Young Heroes in Love (1997–1998), an 18-issue series written primarily by Dan Raspler. The book followed a group of young, emotionally messy metahumans who were less concerned with saving the world than with navigating their own tangled romances and personal dramas. With a rotating art team that included Dev Madan, Christopher Jones, and Chuck Wojtkiewicz, the series stood out for its focus on character-driven relationship conflicts over traditional caped heroics. It remains a curious, cult-favorite experiment from DC's late-90s lineup, offering a lighter, more introspective take on what it means to be young and superpowered.
