Super Potato series.
When an archvillain goes off-script and turns Super Max into a potato, the vain superhero quickly finds solace in being a powerful, handsome spud. This Spanish-import graphic novel for newly independent readers parodies classic comics but keeps the jokes and narratorial asides accessible for an audience new to the genre. Large, clear panels (one to four per page) and skillful illustrations further aid readability.
