Norbie Gets Screwed

In this second installment of the Steeltown Chronicles, loveable man-boy Norbert Reingruber is thriving.  He owns his own comic book store. He's married to the beautiful Morag. And now he's an up-and-coming comic book writer and illustrator! In fact, he has just inked a contract with Slacker Comics for his breakthrough series, The Steeltown Avenger. His agent has even secured him a booth at ComWorld. But, as he's autographing for fans, Norbie is confronted by a menacing dwarf who calls himself The Screw. The terrifying little thug has a message from his mysterious boss—remove The Steeltown Avenger from all bookstores within three days or everyone Norbie loves will die.

Desperate, Norbie calls on his old buddies—Tony, John, and Donny—to help him take down the scariest mini-goon the Village has ever seen. Meanwhile, his mom has some unsettling news, and Morag is at the end of her patience, with life-changing news of her own. The Village erupts with unexpected violence and Norbie finds himself at the centre of it all. Everyone he knows is dragged into the battle.

The clock is ticking! Rocked by peril that could have come straight out of the pages of a comic book, will Norb discover his inner hero in time?

Filled with hilarious, outrageous characters, genuine steeltown colour, wild plot twists, and heart-warming relationships, the second story of this addictive series will keep you turning pages to the very end!
