1-3Melvin Beederman Superhero series.
Illustrated by
Rhode Montijo.
Unlikely superhero Melvin Beederman chases a trio of bad guys back in time as they try to stop the Melvin of the past from becoming a superhero. Though the repetitive silliness of the series grows a bit tiresome, the story will likely elicit guffaws from fans. Comic-style illustrations continue to add to the series' humor.
