The Thing that Came from Jason's Nose!; Animal Avengers

Slim, highly-illustrated, black and white, pocket-size comic books in the 'Epix' series best avoided by the squeamish. The Thing is, of course, a huge, lumpy bogie that Jason flicks down a drain where it lands in the seepage from the Strangeville nuclear power plant and thus transmogrifies into a giant, slimey, slithering mass that threatens to engulf the local school. Our intrepid heroes Verna and Wayne are the only ones who realise what this mass really is and so are able to save the day. Lots of fun if you don't find the subject-matter too revolting - the kids surely won't.

Bits of sci-fi, bits of time-travel and bits of teenage rivalry/romance in Animal Avengers which, frankly, I found difficult to follow. The pictures are too dark, the early plotting too complex and I really could not understand why the girl/boy combo had to change into so many different animals.
