One Long Staircase Just Going Up
Sep. 1st, 2006 10:30 pmBig book update coming soon, I promise. In the meantime, I have to share this book that we found at the library a couple of weeks ago.
Superhero ABC by Bob McLeod. I gather that McLeod is an actual comic book artist, but this book(ostensibly aimed at children, but my wife and I find it hilarious as well)is like an alliterative alphabet book of superheroes, some more likely than others. The art is comic-book style, and the text is done in over-exclaimed cover style.
Some samples:
"The Firefly Fights Felons in the Forest! She doesn't need a Flashlight! She Flies so Fast! She has Fat Feet!"
"Multiplying Mike becomes Many More Men in Moments! He wears a Mask! He has Mighty Muscles! His Mom Makes them all Mind their Manners!"
"Jumping Jack Just Jails Jaywalkers! He's from Jupiter...and he's not Joking! 'I was Just Jogging...'"
He cops out a bit on X, but I gather he didn't want to draw "The X-ray Xenophobe" or something...
