In the brand-new paperback edition of this rollicking middle-grade adventure, Michael Frys witty text and hysterical artwork combines superhero action with classic fish-out-of-water humor. Victor Spoil comes from a long line of famous supervillains and hes fully expected to join their ranks one day. But to his familys utter disappointment, Victor doesnt have a single bad-guy bone in his body. He wont run with scissors, he always finishes his peas, and he cant stand to be messy. Hopeless As a last-ditch effort before they give up and let him be a--gasp --civilian, Victors exasperated parents send him to apprentice under a disgraced supervillain called The Smear. This matchup starts off as a complete disaster, but Victor and The Smear eventually find that they have a lot to learn from each other. When the stakes get high as Victor is forced to choose between his mentor and his family morals (or lack thereof)...what will the worlds nicest bad guy do?
