He is searching for a sidekick, and his pets, a dog, cat, hamster, and chameleon all decide to join in the auditions. They have all been honing their own superpowers, hoping for a chance for some one-on-one time with the Captain. As they compete with each other for the coveted spot, trouble is brewing in the shape of Dr. Havoc, Captain Amazing’s long-time nemesis. When the Captain finds himself in serious trouble, the four warring pets must find a way to put aside their differences to save him and the day! This new edition includes a new cover and a 16-page, never-before-seen epilogue. Fans old and new will not want to miss it.
