By Cordelia Hebblethwaite| BBC Verified A new comic series has just hit the stands starring a female version of Spider-Man. Spider-Girl - aka Anya Corazon - is a 16-year-old high-school student of Latino descent who lives in New York. The makers, Marvel Comics, say she provides a positive, modern image of an empowered young woman. Unlike most superheroes, she has no superpowers, but she is trained in martial arts and has excellent fighting skills. Marvel hope the comic will appeal to the growing number of young female comic book readers.
