Growing up there was no manual on how to be a superhero. I gathered what I could from television. And after watching Adam West, the only thing I learned was that your underwear goes on the outside, and that you're never really a superhero until your punches can produce text bubbles. (A feat I have yet to achieve.) Unfortunately, I never discovered any super powers within myself. After seconds of soul searching, I did come to the stark realization that I maintained the same pale complexion as Robin, even though my costume had a more flattering color scheme.

Saving the world is hard enough, but what about the tests of inner strength faced by today's harried superhero? Unafraid to tackle the tough questions, Does This Cape Make Me Look Fat? offers illustrated self-help guidance for the caped crusader on the subjects of costume choice and self-esteem, guilt and x-ray vision, getting along with a sidekick, thriving in the team environment, negotiating a secret identity at work, and more. The action-packed, comic book-style illustrated advice will help heroes conquer fear of flying, get in touch with super feelings, and choose the nemesis that's right for them. Also including practical advice for avoiding lawsuits, coming up with a good catch-phrase, and maintaining super hair, this hilarious self-help manual--and sly pop psychology satire--brings the help heroes need right to their gloved fingertips.
