Captain Zap and the Evil Baron von Fishhead

by Jon Buller, Susan Schade

Perry and Cosmo love to draw comics starring their very own made-up characters: superhero Captain Zap and his villainous archenemy, the evil Baron von Fishhead. But what happens when the two boys uncover a couple of magic pencils that bring whatever they draw to life? A larger-than-life battle ensues between Captain Zap and Fishhead. Will Perry and Cosmo get control of their creations before truly "comical" disaster results?

[The Brothers · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fun story of two friends who write a comic strip together - one doing the Captain Zap hero part, the other doing the evil Baron Von Fishhead part. In the process of burying a dead goldfish, they come across some pencils buried in a box. Each takes one and they quickly learn that whatever they draw with the pencils comes to life. They both end up becoming their characters in their comic and battling it out.

Very fun illustrations.
