When you were a kid, did you ever feel that your family-your friends-your teachers-didn't understand you? Don't bother to answer-of course you did. We all did. And chances are...you (we) were right. But now, writer David Ullendorff and artist Ron Harris demonstrate, in this unique blend of scintillating prose and wildly entertaining graphic novel, that the only thing worse than those who don't understand you-may be those who do, and who want to use your special gifts for their own dire purposes. Danny Gorman and Codie Brown are the everykid heroes of a thrilling and exceptionally human story that is likely to cause you to rethink everything you ever thought you knew about the American educational system...and to enjoy yourself tremendously while doing so! -- Roy Thomas, former Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief, legendary writer of Conan the Barbarian, The Avengers, Captain Marvel, and countless other series.
