Everyone loves comic book superheroes, so both cast and audience will love this action-packed spoof of the comic book genre complete with hysterical singing superheroes and dancing villains.
Stanley Leonardo Sappovitz wants nothing more than to become a comic book artist and create heroes and villains for the comic books he loves so much. As the janitor at Wonder Comics, he anxiously awaits the day that his boss, D.C. Wunderman, will see his drawings and give him the chance to have his superheroes come alive on the printed page. Stanley’s heroes come alive, all right — but not on the printed page! In an effort to revive his faltering company, Wunderman had ordered a set of magical pens guaranteed to bring to life any character drawn. When plans go awry and his staff of artists unwittingly create the dreaded super-villain Doctor Shock Clock, it is up to Stanley to save the day with his own superheroes — charismatic but egotistical Star Guy, speedy Triple Time, environmentally correct Blossom, and cranky little Wombat Woman! Stanley’s heroes battle Shock Clock and his henchmen, the Minutos, only to be saved in the end by the greatest superhero of them all — Eraser Man (aka Stanley Leonardo Sappovitz)!

This is a crazy story about magical pens that can draw things that come to life! Bought by Wundeman’s comics as a way to breathe life back into his failing business, he never dreamt he would breathe life into super...villains! Now it is up to Stanley the janitor to draw the super heroes that will save our world from disaster and destruction! This is a fast paced, fun, and super upbeat story the kids will love! Limelight Productions, Hollister, CA
We found your music very easy for all of the kids to learn and sing well. We had 24 kids on stage, most of whom had never sung or acted on stage. They all LOVED the music, and I know we will be humming and singing these songs for many months, if not years, to come! Liana Jennings, A Different Drum Theatre Group, London, ON, Canada
We had tremendous success with Adventures of a Comic Book Artist... it allowed us to be really creative with the fight scene. Laura Hyatt, Trinity Episcopal School, Galveston, TX
Excellent characters. Easy for elementary students to develop character and scene, we had a lot of fun with this play!
