The Death-Ray

The Death-Ray/Daniel Clowes 48 pgs.

This is really Andy's story...a quiet, lonely boy who becomes a quiet, lonely man.  Andy lives with his grandfather after the death of his parent's and grandmother.  He is the kind of kid that only has one friend and you can't really tell if you can trust the friend.  One day he smokes a cigarette and finds out that nicotine activates super strength.  He becomes a vigilante and also discovers his father left him the death ray which sort of turns out to be too much for him.  In the way of every other book I've read by this author, the characters are awkward loners without girlfriends and usually pretty angry.  I'm not sure why that attracts me but I always look forward to reading this author.
