September 3, 2020: First Look at "Dear Super-Villains" Book Cover
DC just revealed the cover for the highly anticipated "Dear Super-Villains" middle grade graphic novel by author Michael Northrop (TombQuest) and artist Gustavo Duarte.
"Dear Super-Villains" is the sequel to Michael Northrop and Gustavo Duarte's smash hit "Dear Justice League" that debuted in 2019 and is perfect for readers 8-12.
While "Dear Justice League" featured the world's greatest Super Heroes answering fan mail from young fans, "Dear Super-Villains" features the Legion of Doom answering questions from curious kids.
Fans wanting to gear up for the sequel can tune into DC Kids FanDome at DCkidsfandome.com on September 12 where the entire "Dear Justice League" graphic novel will be available to read for free via the DC Kids comics reader for 24 hours only.

MSRP: $9.99
Peek inside the lives of DC's infamous rogues in DEAR SUPER-VILLAINS, the sequel to DEAR JUSTICE LEAGUE, where curious kids write to notorious scoundrels, asking them about life on the dark side.
How did Gorilla Grodd get so smart? Did Harley Quinn ever try a career in comedy? Why does Catwoman always lose to Batman?
Each chapter highlights members of the Legion of Doom in a sympathetic way that is relatable to kids. But look closely and you may notice the baddies are up to something big! Will the Justice League show up in time to stop them? You'll have to write in to the Tip-line of Evil to find out!
About the Author & Artist:
Michael Northrop is the New York Times bestselling author of Scholastic's new multi-platform series TombQuest. His first young adult novel, Gentlemen, earned him a Publishers Weekly Flying Start citation, and his second, Trapped, was an Indie Next List selection. His first middle grade novel, Plunked, was named one of the best children's books of the year by the New York Public Library and was selected for NPR's Backseat Book Club. He is originally from Salisbury, Connecticut, a small town in the foothills of the Berkshire mountains, where he mastered the arts of BB gun shooting, tree climbing, and field goal kicking with only moderate injuries. After graduating from NYU, he worked at Sports Illustrated Kids magazine for 12 years, the last five of those as baseball editor.
