Captain Valiant and Me: Revenge of the Black Phantom

Author: Adam BrittenIllustrator: Arthur Hamer

Dynamic Boy is part of a family of superheroes, put on Earth as an Astral Guardian, part of an intergalactic police force. However, Dynamic Boy thinks his name is stupid and his costume silly. The rest of the family have the fun superpowers, whereas he can only fly and create illusions.  In this adventure, he and his family must battle the dreadful Abaddon the Destroyer, using their special powers, a bit of quick thinking, and a bit of help. A fast moving tale, with some amusing moments, and a satisfying ending, there are a few rather graphic ‘monster’ scenes which would not suit the faint hearted. Black and white illustrations on most pages capture the tongue in cheek action of these superheroes and provide additional enjoyment to the story.
