1-3Melvin Beederman Superhero series.
Illustrated by
Rhode Montijo.
Melvin and his superhero crew leave LA for outer space when rogue aliens kidnap two of their own. Dorkily heroic as ever, Melvin splats, thuds, and kabonks his way to saving the day yet again, in a manner very similar to his seven previous efforts. The goofiness, reinforced by comics-style black-and-white illustrations, will tickle Melvin followers.
