Send for a Superhero! #[nn]
In "Send for a Superhero!", written by Michael Rosen and illustrated by Katharine McEwan, a classroom full of kids faces a bizarre threat when the villainous Filth and Vacuum attack—just as Brad 40 is stuck in class. With the mayor’s help via a handheld computer, a parade of heroic figures arrives, each hilariously ill-equipped to handle the chaos. When all else fails, Brad 40 suggests an unlikely savior: Extremely Boring Man, whose monotonous rambling proves oddly effective. The cover by Katharine McEwan captures the story’s playful tone, a 16.99 USD comic from 2014 that blends whimsy and quiet heroism.
