Illustrated by
Colleen Doran.
Josh finds comfort pretending to be Mascot, the sidekick to his favorite comic-book hero, Captain Major. When he discovers Mascot is slated to die in the next issue, Josh is convinced his own life is at risk and takes desperate action to save Mascot. A humorous sendup of comic fans and their loyalty, and of the healing power of imagination.
