This second pocket album featuring the plucky kid who can become ten different alien super-heroes continues the all-ages excitement as Ben, his know-it-all cousin Gwen and their mildly eccentric Grandpa Max once more have to interrupt their vacation to defeat Evil and save the world! This time the threat comes from an actual mad scientist whose mind-bending mutant creations attack the supermarket the Tennyson’s are shopping in.
Dr. Animo’s transmodulator helmet can make primeval monsters out of modern animals and even ancient dinosaur bones but the destruction he’s wreaking in Washington DC isn’t the only thing on Ben’s mind… He’s too distracted trying to get the Golden Chase card to complete his set of Sumo Slammer cards!
Infectious fun and high-adventure mark this good old fashioned cartoon series based on the popular kids show created by “Man of Action†(the collective name for fun-think-tank Duncan Rouleau, Joe Casey, Joe Kelly and Steven T. Seagle) whose hit show bears a comfortingly similarity to two beloved strips from 1960s: Dial “H†for Hero and Ultra, the Multi-Alien.
This second graphic novel from Egmont is aimed at younger readers, and uses actual animation artwork to illustrate another cracking good yarn for kids of all ages. Get it for the young ‘uns and re-experience the good old days yourself.
