Description

Victor Spoil comes from a long line of famous supervillains and is expected to join their ranks. However, Victor lacks any bad-guy tendencies, much to his family's disappointment. As a last resort, his parents send him to apprentice under a disgraced supervillain, The Smear. Although their partnership starts off rocky, Victor and The Smear learn valuable lessons from each other. When faced with a tough decision between his mentor and his family's villainous morals, Victor must decide what kind of bad guy he wants to be. This middle-grade adventure by Michael Fry features superhero action and fish-out-of-water humor, combining witty text and hysterical artwork.
