Send for a Superhero! #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the complete run of the 2014 series from Candlewick Press, a playful superhero adventure that follows a young boy who uses a special device to summon his favorite comic book heroes into the real world. The story blends humor and action as the summoned heroes must deal with everyday problems alongside supervillain threats, all while the boy learns about responsibility and the true meaning of heroism.
In "Send for a Superhero!", written by Michael Rosen and illustrated by Katharine McEwan, a classroom full of kids faces a bizarre threat when the villainous Filth and Vacuum attack—just as Brad 40 is stuck in class. With the mayor’s help via a handheld computer, a parade of heroic figures arrives, each hilariously ill-equipped to handle the chaos. When all else fails, Brad 40 suggests an unlikely savior: Extremely Boring Man, whose monotonous rambling proves oddly effective. The cover by Katharine McEwan captures the story’s playful tone, a 16.99 USD comic from 2014 that blends whimsy and quiet heroism.
