Publisher's Summary
Awesome Man can shoot positronic rays out of his eyeballs, fly as straight asan arrow, and hug mutant Jell-O! Even villains like Professor Von Evil and the Flaming Eyeball are no match for this caped crusader.
But Awesome Man also has a secret... Can you guess what it is?
The first picture book from Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Michael Chabon perfectly captures the fantasy life of young superhero fans.

What the critics say
“The depiction of a showdown between Awesome Man and his nemesis—the Flaming Eyeball—is priceless. Readers may notice that there’s a moral peeking out from Awesome Man’s cape, but they’ll still grab this story in their ‘ginormous Awesome Power Grip’ and not let go.” ( School Library Journal, starred review)
“Young caped crusaders and Chabon’s adult fans alike will grin at this self-consciously witty portrait.” ( Publishers Weekly)
“It’s a wonderful celebration of tough-guy fantasies and down-to-earth boyness.” ( San Francisco Chronicle)
