The Black Walrus
He is the crispy bacon of vengeance that sizzles in the night. He is the Cheeto® dust that stains the fingers of injustice.
He is Alex Portobello, an inventive eighth grader who spends his time reading comic books, butting heads with his classmates and teachers, building incredible gadgets, designing his own martial art, and discussing the skin-moistening effects of soaking one’s feet in Pepto Bismol®.
Unbeknownst to Alex, his superhuman intelligence is the product of a bizarre experiment: his brain’s been irradiated by a weird energy core! Once the experiment reaches its zenith, Alex finishes his arsenal of gadgets and becomes a spandex-clad crime-fighter, waging war on the criminals of Cremini City as the Black Walrus.
But the fart cloud of crime won’t dissipate without a fight. In order to save his city from a rising tide of evil, Alex must defeat the sinister Birthday Gang, outwit a mysterious zookeeper who may be on to his secret identity, and contend with a mysterious foe threatening to turn Cremini City into his personal criminal empire.
Adventure awaits!

The Black Walrus and Kevin
He is the Labrador that scoots its butt across the carpet of villainy. It is he who burps the Tupperware® of evil.
He is Alex Portobello, a.k.a., the Black Walrus, and he’s back for another adventure! Utilizing his radioactive super brain, this ingenious eighth-grader has constructed an arsenal of gadgets, recruited an army of martial arts walruses, and established himself as the Black Walrus, spandex-clad defender of Cremini City.
But the Black Walrus alone isn’t enough to slice all the crusts of villainy from the city’s pastrami on rye. Not only is crime still rampant, but the mysterious Questionable Science, Incorporated, is experimenting with dairy power technology. Someone is creating milk-fueled jetpacks and gouda-powered ray guns. Alex knows it won’t be long before some sinister force unleashes the cheesy arsenal upon the city’s unsuspecting citizens.
To combat this new threat, Alex must face his greatest challenge yet: training his hyperactive little cousin, Kevin, to be his sidekick.
With an incorruptible sense of justice and lots and lots of sugar coursing through his veins, Kevin has the makings of a great hero. But can Alex mold Kevin into a top-notch crime-fighter before it’s too late? Or will Cremini City fall before the calcium-rich menace?
Let’s hope the Black Walrus and Kevin can cut the cheese!
