Other Details: ‘Soon after Tim Skinner inherited his grandfather’s old comic book collection he discovered something extraordinary – it was magic and by making a simple wish he could step into the pages of any of the fabulous four-color fantasies his heart desired. He could hang out with cowboys, futuristic robots or whiny adolescent mutants.
Unfortunately, Tim is a loathsome piece of garbage and instead of enjoying fun and frolics in a universe of action and adventure he brutalizes and exploits his comic-book chums for his own nefarious ends.
Truly, Tim Skinner is a total scumbag!’
