Benny Breakiron's Two Adventures

Benny Breakiron's super-heroic adventures continue in this charming graphic novel series from the creator of The Smurfs! Benny is a nice little boy who has Superman-like powers whose weakness is the common cold. It’s beautiful and utterly charming.

Benny's Adventure #2
Madam Adolphine is a kind, gentle old lady, and a good friend of the super-strong Benny Breakiron. So why is she robbing a bank, banging a man on the head with a mallet, and being thrown in the trunk of a car, with no memory of what happened? It's up to Benny to get to the bottom of it . . . and stop it if he can.




Benny's Adventure #3
In his 3rd adventure Benny returns in different form. In this story, Benny's elderly friend Monsieur Dussiflard discovers that a kind deed he and his friends did years ago might make them billionaires. Dussiflard and Benny are off to the desert on the journey of a lifetime! But they're not alone; some shadowy figures from Dussiflard's past are on the same trail. Dussiflard and Benny set out to warn his friends and along the way Benny completes twelve amazing tasks. 

This 3rd adventure seems to be more enjoyable than the previous one.
