4-6Vordak the Incomprehensible series.
Illustrated by
John Martin.
Arch-villain Vordak the Incomprehensible leads readers through a detailed tutorial of how to take over the world. Vordak's sarcastic and dismissive tone will greatly amuse youngsters familiar with the superhero genre. There's no narrative, but readers will gladly stick with it to the end, hoping Vordak will hand over the world to them for finishing.
