Leonard Neeble, a short, portly, wrinkled kid with glasses, was pretty well ordained to be an outcast at Bat Masterson Junior High School. Especially after he sat down on somebody's half-eaten Good Humor bar in the school yard.
In fact, his new life in the affluent suburb of West Kangaroo Park was generally a washout as far as Leonard was concerned. Until Alan Mendelsohn turned up in his class and being weird became interesting.
The search for additions to Mendelsohn's collection of over two thousand comics led to some unique new experiences, including Mind Control and the Bermuda Triangle Chili Parlor. Jacket illustration by Robert Mertens
