Meet Oldguy: your regular aging superhero whose powers have dwindled over the years, and whose very mechanics are seriously fizzling. In seriocomic misadventures, Oldguy valiantly attempts to continue his former heroism in a somewhat wry version of Faulknerian endurance, defeating his enemies time and again-if not through superhuman abilities, then at least by "outliving the sons-a-bitches." With its comic book-style illustrations, Oldguy inhabits a space all to itself-not strictly a poetry collection, not quite a graphic novel-hybrid sure to visually and aurally delight.
