Written by Michael Chabon, Illustrated by Jake Parker
I know this will be a new favorite for superhero-seeking boys. This books is illustrated in an appealing retro comic book style. Awesome Man is seeking out the evil Flaming Eyeball, but Awesome Man has a secret that is revealed at the end of the story. A fun, action packed story with a sweet touch at the end.
