Young Shadow usually protects sci-fi Bolt city by making deliveries for the food bank and rescuing pets. But one night, he discovers the Sludge Team, a conspiracy composed of a CEO of a chemical plant, trust-fund punks, and suspicious cops. To stop their evil plan, Young Shadow must don a couple of batons, knee pads, and a small black mask, and team up with Spiral Scratch - another benevolent protector in the fight - and metal-clad nuns. Drawn in bold yellows and blacks, this is a socially conscious YA action/adventure kid superhero tale.

Industry Reviews

Young Shadow builds itself through warm little moments to question the implicit legitimacy of an authority forever scaling up violence. A carefully crafted story that subtly blends magic, where reading about "ground control" and "civilian pacification" hits close to home, and where corporations reveal themselves once more as nastily distant, evil robotic guilds.--Emma Rios "Pretty Deadly"
A fast paced story that is a fun, page-turning read for a reader of any age. ... If you're a superhero reader pushing forty, and Young Shadow doesn't conjure feelings that immediately transport you to your own sixth grade sketchbook, then I feel sorry for you.-- "Panel Patter"
If you enjoy graphic novels with awesome sci-if adventures and a kind superhero, then Young Shadow by Ben Sears is the book for you.-- "Kids' Book Review"
Ben Sears' Young Shadow has all the charm of Charles Schulz and the excitement of Jack Kirby. The Dogs of Bolt City are safe with Young Shadow on patrol!--Glen Murakami "Teen Titans"
