Old Guy: Superhero: Superhero

Meet Oldguy: your regular aging superhero whose powers have dwindled over the years, and whose very mechanics are seriously fizzling. In seriocomic misadventures, Oldguy valiantly attempts to continue his former heroism in a somewhat wry version of Faulknerian endurance, defeating his enemies time and again–if not through superhuman abilities, then at least by outliving the sons-a-bitches. With its comic book-style illustrations, Oldguy inhabits a space all to itself–not strictly a poetry collection, not quite a graphic novel–hybrid sure to visually and aurally delight.
