    Introducing Mazing Man

    The book opens with Denton and his friend "Mazing Man walking through their neighborhood in New York City. Denton is an odd little man in that he looks like a dog. He's not a dog. He is a writer, and his friend is the self appointed protector of the neighborhood. A three foot harmless little man with a helmet and a cape.
     A few reviews ago, I called the Comet "The Best Kept Secret of the 90's" well I will make that announcement again for this failed series being the best kept secret of the 80's. It is actually very easy to see why this series failed, it is all right here in the first issue. It has a character who looks like a talking dog, a three foot hero. There is humor, but it is not geared towards the kids. The humour is mature. The characters well drawn out. This book looks like it is inteded to be a childs story, but what we get instead is a mature story about a friendship and the people who suround it.
     The art is cartoonish, but that helps for thesis book. If you get a chance hunt this one down. You will not be disappointed.

A lot of what I had envisioned for my story has been done better elsewhere, though. What my friend saw, was what we both appreciated about 'Mazing Man. The lovable wackines...
