description: by Steven WeissmanSteven Weissman won the Harvey Award for "Best New Talent" in 1998 (for Yikes ), and Fantagraphics Books is proud to present his first original graphic novel, Champs ! Weissman may well be the reincarnation of Hal Roach, creator of Our Gang and Laurel &amp; Hardy serials Like Roach, Weissman crafts hilariously charming stories revolving around a gang of precocious and adventurous children (the Tykes ). Unlike Roach, Weissman's "kids" each have their own supernatural features: there's Li'l Bloody, the vampire toddler; X-Ray Spence with his, well, take a guess. Think Our Gang meets the Universal Monsters, with a tad of Speed Racer and Peanuts thrown in for good measure! You'll be thrilled as you see the Tykes take on Johnny Takagi in the Big-Wheel races and horribly amused at the tiniest toreador in the world!GN, 7x7, 96pg
