Book SynopsisMeet 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.Trade Review"When has geezerhood been handled so appealingly? (Well, except for those movies where Ann-Margret is inexplicably cast as a senior citizen.) Oldguy may exit the Oldguymobile creaking and farting, but comedian-con-simpatico Bill Trowbridge so ably superjuggles hijinks and empathy that, despite all the geriatric odds, a true American hero is born. Don’t know a ‘Packard’ from the ‘Oscar Meyer Wienermobile,’ or ‘Roundheads’ from ‘the Blob’? Then snap your trap shut, punk, and give a listen: Oldguy’s here to save your day." — Albert Goldbarth, author of Saving Lives and Welcome "Oldguy: Superhero—Bill Trowbridge’s hilarious guide to the perils and sly pleasures of aging. In this reader-friendly collection, Oldguy earns his superhero status when, among other adventures, he takes a driver’s test, gets a physical, and confounds Death himself. Shattering preconceived notions of senescent angst and addled-ness, Trowbridge imbues Oldguy with an enviable inner life full of covert panache. Oldguy: Superhero is an exhilarating read that I didn’t want to put down except to laugh and to shake my seventy-eight-year-old head in admiration. Oh, and Oldguy sings, too. You don’t want to miss that." — Ron Koertge, author of Yellow Moving Van "Oldguy: Superhero—The Complete Collection is a banquet of dinner rolls, Jell-O, turkey sandwiches and moonlit ballrooms, Kung Fu and sarsaparilla, Artie Shaw, Moby Dick; one surprise after another, imaginative and beautifully crafted, with enough laughs and charm to make any guy or gal, old or young, roll in imagery to last forever!
