Magic Pickle

Scott Morse brings his signature cartooning style to this Scholastic series, which launched in 2008 and follows the adventures of a crime-fighting pickle with superpowers. As both writer and artist, Morse blends slapstick humor with kid-friendly action, creating a zany world where a sentient gherkin battles bizarre villains. Though the series currently spans a single issue, its offbeat premise and energetic art have made it a cult favorite among young readers who love absurd, all-ages comics.
