The sixth issue of Boston Powers just came out a few weeks ago and is now available for sale! The new issue features 4 all-new stories, colorful, funny and fun, and more-than-appropriate for ages 8 and up. Kids from Massachusetts might even recognize their own hometown or neighborhood in any of these locally-set adventures.
The new issue features the return of several Boston-based heroes from previous issues:
–– Earthboy, the environmental kid-hero guided by the spirit of Henry Thoreau takes off from the Boston Aquarium to face a fiendish fisherman, The Boston Angler. Written by Scott Harris-King, drawn by Reggie Themistocle.
— The Conductor‘s heroic exploits again revolve around the “T,” this time she meets a new villain, the Forgemaster, by Jason Doring, writer, with art by Ben Humeniuk.
— The Blue Lobster claws his way back to the pages of Boston Powers, this time entering the BPL to take on the ravenous Bookworm. By Dan Mazur.
— Plus a new character, The South End Avenger, premieres in a tasty adventure from the team of Deb Lang and Robert Christie.
— And once again a spectacular cover by Kurt Ankeny.
All stories are by Boston creators (with a few special guest out-of-town collaborators).
