Book Description

Publication Date: February 17, 2003 | Series: Spyboy

What IS it about SpyBoy that's so darn cool? The slick costume? The cutting-edge motorcycle? The stylin' goggles? Yes, yes, and yes! But that's not all! He's the only teen that could break into Fort Knox, yet fail his math test. He's "man" enough to take on a gang of thugs armed to teeth without breaking a sweat, yet shy enough that he'd trip over a raisin when he asks a girl to the prom. While SpyBoy is a dashing -- and deadly, if need be -- secret agent, Alex Fleming, his alter ego, has about as much street cred as your grandmother. But all that's about to change when Fleming runs for...class president?! And there's more than enough for his SpyBoy guise to take on, too, when he, SpyGirl and spy-wanna-be Butch take on the roughest, toughest hombre ever to bathe in the Rio Grande...Hanging Chad! Not a discerning fan of Dark Horse's coolest sleeper hit?! Shame on you! Go out and buy the previous collections, right now, before Peter David smacks you! Only then can you enjoy this newest collection: an EXTRA thick volume that features not three, but FOUR issues of the SB series! Wow! You must be dreamin', fan boy!

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Adult/High School-In this sequel to Undercover, Underwear! (Dark Horse, 2002), teenage spy Alex has to stop the nefarious Slackjaw from destroying Tokyo. This shouldn't be a problem for the world's greatest spy, but unfortunately his SpyBoy persona is embedded in his unconscious mind, and tends to come and go unpredictably. Also, Bombshell and SpyGirl, his co-agents on the mission, have a rather contentious relationship. When Alex returns to school, he finds out that the secret agent posing as him in his absence has stirred up trouble. On top of that, SpyGirl has transferred to his school and continues to pursue Alex and annoy Bombshell. "SpyBoy" is bawdy and playful with colorful, kinetic art. The sometimes silly story lines are grounded by the characters who behave in a believable manner.
