Any decent comics or superhero (Spiderman etc) books for 4 year olds?

DS (nearly 4) has become obsessed with superheroes recently (there was a massive comics/cosplay convention where we live and he loved seeing the characters). He has watched some Spidey and Friends episodes which I feel are ok and I would like to find some similarly age-appropriate books or comics for him. He especially loves spiderman, batman etc but he isn[t that fussy really.

His interest is all about the costumes, fast vehicles, the impressive jumping running flying etc skills and not connected to fighting or weapons - I am not sure he understands the concept of bad guys really and is quite easily scared by books and films. I bought online a couple of cheap board books aimed at 2-5 year olds but they are dreadful and not age appropriate at all, too violent and full of confusing concepts/language so they need a lot of editing/explaining and are also pretty boring for him.

I have to buy English books online so it[s hard to check stuff out personally, and I know nothing about superheros and comics, I sometimes read Asterix as a kid but that[s it. Any recommendations for series/publishers/titles suitable for little kids?

The Supertato series is great and after that my DS liked DC Super Pets. There’s also a short chapter book series about a boy called Marv by Alex Falase-Koya.

Thank you! Superato looks brilliant, I will definitely order one.

I know he’d like something with already familiar characters too… has anyone tried “bedtime for batman” or the marvel introduction stories from the little golden books collection?

There's quite a lot of early reader books about superheroes. I think these are published by Dorling Kindserley (not sure if I have spelt that correctly). They are story books rather than comic books.
