Prize Not The Mask: A Daring Comics Novel

By Lee F Szczepanik Jr and Lee F. Szczepanik Jr.

A secret identity exposed. His children in danger.

Since World War 2, costumed superheroes have been a staple in society. Gifted with an array of powers, they fight the never-ending battle for those unable to defend themselves.

Then five years ago, an alien race known as the Necroleans invaded Earth. Though the death toll was high, and loved ones were lost, only the combined might of the superpowered community sent the would-be conquerors into retreat. Earth had been saved.

OR HAD IT?

After dealing the decisive blow against the invaders, Vanguardian is the most famous superhero in the world. Operating out of Autumn Arbor, otherwise known as the City of Legends, he and the Sentinels of Society are scheduled to attend the annual festival commemorating the Necroleans' defeat and memorializing those who fell during the invasion.

Vanguardian and the Sentinels are attacked in the middle of the festival by a new supervillain calling himself Incarnate. Powerful enough to bring the entire team to its knees, Incarnate is revealed to not only be a new weapon created by the Necroleans, but also exposes Vanguardian's secret identity to the public.

Now they are plunged into a war against a villain more powerful than any they've faced before. A monster that not only risks bringing about an apocalypse, but one who now knows Vanguardian's identity and is determined to destroy those he loves.

Can Vanguardian figure out the mystery of Incarnate before it's too late? Before the new breed of Necrolean finds his wife and sons?
