Benny Breakiron is a boy who has some secret powers: mostly
strength and speed. He always tries to help, but often his strength gets him in
more trouble than its worth. When a new taxi service moves into town, his
friend Mr. Dussilifard might go out of business. Can Benny solve the deeper
mystery of the new taxi service? Will Benny be able to help when his friend is
kidnapped? Worse yet, what will Benny do when he catches a cold, and his powers
fizzle temporarily.
I am glad that a publisher is preserving the history of comics
by republishing the classics authors like Peyo (Creator of Smurfs). However I
wouldn’t add it to my library, the story a bit challenging and old-fashioned
for todays readers. The artwork is practically microscopic, which I am finding
typical of this publisher, though the artwork is bright and varied. There may be some adults fans who would treasure this reprint -with a magnifying glass in hand.
