Beschreibung des Verlags
When eighteen-year-old Roger leaves the family farm in Nebraska to seek his destiny in Chicago, he has no way of knowing an encounter with the wizard Merlin will render him a superhero.
Roger experiences surprises and trials as he discovers the powers of his Blue Knight alternate identity. The action begins as intruiging adversaries challenge Blue Knight in Chicago, New York City and Hawaii.
Blue Knight’s powers make him feel invincible. In Part 1, The Artiste uses this vulnerability to trap Superhero/Blue Knight in the hold of a dark ship on Lake Michigan. He is safe there from personal harm and Artiste cannot hold him captive indefinitely. In the second episode, Roger and his Blue Knight alternate identity are in New York City when a powerful jinni is unleashed and holds Manhattan captive. In the third episode, Chicago’s Russian Mafia boss, Ivan, wants to stop Superhero’s interference with the Mafia’s criminal activities.
The next adventure brings a change of pace and location as Roger accepts an invitation to join his Chicago rooming house friends on the Big Island of Hawaii. Pele, the Kilauea volcano goddess awakens accidentally and Blue Knight must find a way to stop the lava flow threatening the city of Hilo.
In subsequent episodes, Blue Knight confronts Tony Capone, who is convinced he is in the lineage of legendary Chicago crime boss, Al Capone. Tony and his gang move to the Windy City. Tony is committed to bringing back the glory days of the earlier Capone. Tony’s actions to eradicate Blue Knight endanger other citizens of Chicago as well. Blue Knight ultimately travels twenty years into the future through a time portal to settle with Capone. Superhero presents non-stop adversaries and challenges along with plenty of twists and turns. All the while, Superhero treats readers to the evolution that takes place in the lives of Roger and his friends at Rosie’s Rooming House.
