''H.E.R.O.'' is an American comic book series published by DC Comics that started in 2003 and ran for 22 issues. The series was written by Will Pfeifer. Artists included Kano, Leonard Kirk and Dale Eaglesham. The series' focus was the "H-Dial" that DC had first introduced in "Dial H for Hero" in ''House of Mystery'' in the 1960s. For this series the Dial was depicted as an object with buttons instead of a dial and was referred to as the H-Device. Unlike earlier stories, ''H.E.R.O.'' did not have one or two protagonists being turned into a new hero every issue, but showed the H-Device passing from bearer to bearer, examining how different people react to the sudden gift of supernatural powers. There was a subplot involving Robby Reed (the main character from the original ''Dial H for Hero'') that ran through most issues and led to the series' final storyline. ==Storyarcs and characters== * Issue #1–4: Jerry Feldon, a minimum wage earner from the fictional city of Heaton, Pennsylvania, uses the H-Device in order to impress a co-worker. * Issue #5: Matt Allen, a businessman finds and becomes obsessed with using the H-Device.
