Super Bomb & Captain Frizz vs the Sausage-Man
Two best friends. Secret identities. One mission: save the world.
Best friends Super Bomb and Captain Frizz dream of becoming superheroes — and when a radioactive jar of mustard falls into a butcher’s mincer, transforming a kindly butcher into the monstrous Sausage Man, their moment arrives! As Sausage Man unleashes chaos, the boys fight back with fizzy powder, clever tricks, and a well-placed banana peel. In a wild, messy showdown, the villain disappears into a meat locker, the children are safe, and Pizza Friday is gloriously restored.
The first title of Super Bomb & Captain Frizz series: Guido and Enrichetto have been inseparable since before they were even born — their moms shared a hospital room! They love TV, pizza with frankfurters, and covering themselves in temporary tattoos. But most of all, they love superheroes. One day they decide: why wait to grow up to save the world? Guido becomes Super Bomb, who bombards villains with furious punches. Enrichetto becomes Captain Frizz, inspired by a jar of fizzy powder on the table. Together, they fight crime in their stories — complete with secret identities, epic missions, and hilarious side effects.
