Summary
A French Bulldog from Massachusetts plans to take over the world but first he must contend with superpowered foes in this humorous graphic novel for kids. When Kirby, a French Bulldog with a serious Napoleon Complex, moves to a new home in the quaint New England town of Strasburg, Massachusetts, and stumbles upon a forgotten secret laboratory, he realizes that his dreams of Planetary Conquest are finally within paw’s reach. But, suddenly, Kirby realizes he isn’t alone. Seemingly out of nowhere, a strange group of people appear, exhibiting what Kirby can only describe as superpowers! Kirby must rise up against all who stand in his way to emerge victorious in this ultimate quest for world domination. The Atomic Frenchie is the first book in a series following the adventures of Kirby, professional supervillain and future ruler of Earth, as he schemes and battles his way past evil library robots, supernatural cat ladies, superpowered mail men, and more bizarre characters to achieve his sinister dreams of ruling the world. Praise for Atomic Frenchie “Sweetly inspired lunacy of the highest order, a unique and perfect blend of comic book and novel that will delight readers young and old. Kirby’s lovably evil adventures are next-generation Pinky & The Brain. Sniegoski and McWeeney are mad scientists, and I can’t wait to read whatever madcap mayhem they cook up next!” —Christopher Golden, New York Times–bestselling author of Ararat “In the paper jungle when you hear the beautiful rhythms of the Tom-Toms (Tom Sniegoski and Tom McWeeney), heed their call and you will be rewarded to an unbeatable combo of prose and art. Atomic Frenchie has it all!” —Geof Darrow, comics illustrator (Hard Boiled, The Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot)
