Comic Squad — Ginger Voight

When twelve-year-old Alice Thorton moves to strange and unusual Stone Gully, she finds herself more alone than she's ever been - a tomboy outcast whose only tie to her recently deceased dad is his prized Joe Dakota comic book collection.
The only other person in town who seems to show any interest in this treasure trove is Dwight, a forty-year-old kid and sniveling comic book store owner, who has his own purposes for some of her more rare memorabilia.
He snatches Alice's prized pair of tattered 3-D glasses to go with his own copy of the matching comic book. In a cyclone of color and light that changes him from a flesh and blood man into a two dimensional drawing in the book, he realizes too late that this extremely rare combination actually opens a portal between the comic book world and his own.
With a little help from Alice he finds his way back home, but with unwelcome company. When dastardly Dr. Horror escapes into their sleepy little town, he and his henchman Twitch turn the entire burg on its ear by switching the personality of each adult thanks to a strange blue potion. This chaos buys him some time until he can perfect his ultimate weapon - his mind control potion - uninterrupted. It is a dangerous concoction that the new world and its fascinating elements can finally help him complete, and he has already singled out a target - the man in charge of the town's nuclear power plant.
The new world also makes Dr. Horror stronger and younger by the day. Not so coincidentally it simultaneously steals the strength of his nemesis, the superhero Joe Dakota, the minute he tries to join the kids and subdue the villain. That means it is up to the geeks and the outcasts - a band of misfits, thrown together by their common knowledge of all things comic book - to defeat the bad guy and save their families, their town... and possibly the world.
You used to call them geeks. Prepare to call them heroes.
"Comic Squad" is the fun adventure for kids of all ages that challenges each individual to be their own hero, and to appreciate the unsung heroes we have right in our own family. It's a story about friendship, about family and the inner courage within.
