Comic Book Summer - Paperback

by Craig Brownlie (Author)

B.W. is a 13-year-old comic book fan. When his neighbor, Stan Scheiner, becomes the new writer on his favorite comic book, the unbelievable happens. Mr. Scheiner offers B.W. a summer job as a gofer. As the afternoons pass, B.W. learns more about the comic book business than about actual writing. Deadlines loom and Scheiner's household life falls apart. Coping with his own family, his view of himself, and a pesky fantasy life which intrudes on reality, B.W. offers his own ideas for the story, but is anyone going to listen?
