Book details
The Mighty Onion
Description
Eliot Quigly is sure of one thing and one thing only: He is sitting on the greatest superhero comic idea of all time. Combine radioactive onion rings with a run-of-the-mill kid and you get the Mighty Onion, a crime-fighting superhero who gains extraordinary powers whenever he eats onions. It's genius! Eliot can't wait to get his brilliant idea out into the world, but there's only one problem: he's terrible at drawing. Eliot is about to throw in the towel when he lucks upon the perfect illustrator-classmate Pamela Jones, who begrudgingly agrees to help.? With his ambition and her artistic talent, there's no stopping this dynamic comic-creating duo. But partnership is a tricky road, and creative differences arise quickly. Will Eliot and Pam stick together long enough to make this vision a reality? Using a mix of comics pages, journal entries, handwritten letters, and more, author-illustrator Mark Crilley explores the triumphs and tribulations of the creative process-and teamwork-in a series opener that's unlike any you've seen before!
