The Astonishing Secret of Awesome Man

40 pp. | HarperCollins/Balzer + Bray | September, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-191462-1 $17.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jake Parker. Broad-shouldered, square-chinned Awesome Man has awesome powers and an awesome dog sidekick. But he still needs to relax and refuel after a hard day battling evil. There's some satisfaction after the one-note story line reveals Awesome Man's alter ego (a little boy). Rich-hued 1950s-comic-style art includes subtle clues to the story's twist.
