本文描述了一部由青少年癌症患者在米兰（意大利）国家肿瘤研究所青年项目中撰写的图画小说——一个关于超级英雄的故事——的发展故事。十九名年龄从十五岁到二十五岁的患者（十五名正在接受癌症治疗，四名最近完成治疗）参加了由专业教师管理的为期四个月的创意写作实验室。写作实验室的输出是书面文本，用作专业漫画家与患者合作绘制的图画小说的剧本。通过他们的故事，青少年患者成功地表达了他们的梦想和恐惧。青少年患者自己解释了他们如何试图激发出内心的超级英雄。这个项目描述了患有癌症的青少年的惊人力量，为他们的内心世界打开了一扇宝贵的窗户，使我们能够通过他们自己的话语更好地了解他们的真实想法和感受。
The present paper describes the story of the development of a graphic novel-a story about superheroes-written by adolescent cancer patients on the Youth Project at the Istituto Nazionale Tumori in Milan (Italy). Nineteen patients from fifteen to twenty-five years old (fifteen receiving treatment for their cancer, four who had recently completed their treatments) participated in a four month creative writing laboratory managed by a professional teacher. The output from the writing laboratory was a written text that was used as the script for a graphic novel drawn by professional cartoonists and working together with the patients. Through their story, adolescent patients succeeded in voicing their dreams and fears. It was the adolescent patients themselves who explained how they had each tried to bring out the superhero inside them. This project describes the amazing powers of adolescents with cancer and opens a precious window on their inner world, enabling us to gain a better understanding of what they are really thinking and feeling through their own words.
