Sky Dog Press
presents this newly remastered Buzzboy trade paperback, collecting the
original, critically-acclaimed Buzzboy miniseries, with over 20 pages of extra
art and features! Buzzboy is a teen sidekick that never grew up, a too-much TV
watching, junk food eating super hero-- and earth's only hope? Teamed up with a
sarcastic young sorceress, and an ex-mad scientist (who gave up being evil for
baking), Buzzboy must battle his Elvis-impersonating ex-mentor Lord Ultra for
the fate of the world. Get in on the pop culture loving, upbeat fun of Buzzboy!
With a cover by Michael (Powers) Avon Oeming.
Imagine a
superhero who jokes constantly, watches way too many old television shows, and
loves junk food, and you have Buzzboy. Years before, he was sidekick to Captain
Ultra, but the evil Dr. Schism destroyed all superheroes and their sidekicks,
except for Captain Ultra. Now, Ultra has declared martial law in the city of
New Paradise, and his police stomp out all rebellions. Then a mysterious
superhero stops the Hoppers (police) it’s Buzzboy, older and back from the
dead! Huh? Oh, and his best friend is Doc Cyber, a former mad scientist/villain
turned chef. Buzzboy saves teenager Becca from the police, and it turns out she
has magical powers. Ultra decides to destroy the city and everyone in it, but
in his public announcement he says the word "Gestalt," and all over
the world, people hear that word and suddenly remember they were once
superheroes. They all rush to New Paradise to help Buzzboy fight Ultra, and
they learn the true identity of the villainous Dr. Schism. Buzzboy is good fun,
a laugh-out-loud funny homage to superhero comics.
Buzzboy
continually quotes from old television shows; baby boomers will recognize them,
and teens who spend any time watching Nick at Nite or TV Land will, also.
Anyone who has ever enjoyed any of the mainstream superhero comics and
possesses a sense of humor will enjoy Buzzboy and its cool comic sensibilities.
Older elementary kids and younger teens can enjoy the zany antics while adults
can also indulge in a bit of nostalgia.
NOTE: I'm not a professional grader, I collected
comics as a HOBBY. I'm selling from my
own collection. All my books are handled with great care, and are boarded,
bagged and stored in a smoke free, air conditioned setting. I do my best to accurately describe all my
items. If you have any questions please
send me a message. I'm more than happy to help!

the actual item you are bidding on.
I ship all
comics with extreme care to ensure safe delivery. Small collections are mailed in a Gemini
comics mailer inside an envelope marked “DO NOT BEND.” SAVAGE DRAGON would have a hard time damaging
your books.
I LOVE to
