Colin Lee Campbell turns to the superhero genre with tales of heroism, anti-heroism, and black humor. In nine action-packed tales, Colin takes us on a whirlwind tour of Cape City's past and present, seen through the eyes of heroes and villains who redefine what it means to be "super." Before the founding of Cape City, a French fur trader arrives in a Native American village, followed by a Jesuit priest, just as spirits and creatures from the nearby lake suddenly begin causing trouble. Can Natiakah, the lake's guardian, save the village, or is he only a myth? An old man in a retirement home looks back on his life as Gangbuster, a Golden Age superhero who fought crime in Cape City from the Roaring Twenties up to World War Two. In six darkly comedic tales, Deadbeat gives the reader a look through the eyes of an antihero cursed with immortality, from deserting the Confederacy, fighting undead in the Wild West, to serving prison time in modern-day Cape City, and more. A girl is missing in Cape City, and only one superhero is intent on finding her. But Da Bomb has an explosive temper...literally, and everything he encounters along the way just seems to make him angrier.
