Pathway #1 Comic Book – Heroes for Causes Unite for Cystic Fibrosis Awareness
Pathway #1 Comic Book introduces an all-new hero with a powerful mission—raising awareness and inspiring hope for those living with Cystic Fibrosis. As part of the groundbreaking Heroes for Causes initiative, this issue blends comic action with heartfelt advocacy.
Who is Pathway?
Pathway is a superhero unlike any other—brave, resilient, and living with Cystic Fibrosis. Instead of hiding his condition, he uses it as his strength, making him a symbol of hope and determination for real-world children and families battling CF.
Created as part of the Heroes for Causes Initiative, Pathway #1 Comic Book helps bring representation to young readers who rarely see their own struggles reflected in heroic media.
Issue #1 – Battle Against The Gasp
In this 1st issue, Pathway is forced to confront a terrifying enemy: The Gasp—a villain who personifies the invisible challenges of chronic disease. The Gasp’s plan: to plunge the world into fear, isolation, and weakness. Only Pathway stands in the way.
But fighting The Gasp means risking everything Pathway holds dear. Will our hero rise to the occasion—or be consumed by the weight of his mission?
This emotional and action-packed debut:
Introduces the world of Pathway
Tackles powerful themes of illness, resilience, and empowerment
Promotes real-world awareness of Cystic Fibrosis through story
Is crafted for readers of all ages—especially kids facing challenges of their own
