YOUNG ALFRED: PAIN IN THE BUTLER by Michael Northrop

 

YOUNG ALFRED: PAIN IN THE BUTLER is a new graphic novel by Michael Northrop with art by Sam Lotfi. Fans of the DC world of comics will want to get their hands on this one.

All comic fans are familiar with Batman and his butler Alfred. Everyone knows how indispensable Alfred is to the superhero, but Alfred's early life has been a mystery until now. Young Alfred's father had one wish that his son would become a well-trained butler. Heading off to Gotham's Servants School was supposed to be the beginning of a grand new adventure ending with the fulfillment of his father's dream. Young Alfred isn't sure he wants to be a butler, but time will tell.

Of all the students at the school, Alfred seems to be the worst. His biggest talent is collecting demerits. How is he supposed to learn the uses for 35 different forks? How is he supposed to keep his uniform spotless and his shoes unscuffed? 

Author Michael Northrop shines in this creative graphic novel. Filled with great puns and wonderful characters, comic fans will want to grab a copy and share it with friends.
