Ker-Splash!

Being the good guy isn't always a day at the beach!

Publishers Weekly

A smattering of titles continue favorite series and characters. In a starred review of Kapow!, PW wrote, "George O'Connor debuts with a high-energy comics takeoff in which three children play at being superheroes. Their enthusiasm is contagious." Kersplash! finds the trio at the beach, where Bug Lady is recognizable from her red-and-black spotted bathing cap and American Eagle's duck-bill baseball cap shields him from the sun (poor little brother gets a snorkle). Full-bleed comic-book spreads depict the way events play out in their imaginations as they save a crab from a teenage bully. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

George O'Connor's cover -- as a mild-mannered clerk in one of Gotham's most beloved children's bookstores -- was completely blown when his first picture book, KAPOW!, was exploded onto the scene. Forced to leave the bookselling world behind, he now spends even more time in his secret Brooklyn, New York, hideout -- where he uses his amazing artistic powers to strike fear in the hearts of bad guys everywhere!
