Back Cover Blurb
When the dastardly, devilish Thomas Fidget threatens the lives of Big Town's city fathers, shy, weak Carter Nash takes a swig of the secret formula that turns him into Captain Nice, the indestructible superman who chokes on his mother's apron strings. In the action that follows, all Big Town is turned into an arena (never mind a shambles) by the battle between Fidget's forces of evil and our hero(?).

"Faster than a speeding bullet...more powerful than a locomotive...able to leap tall buildings in a single bound..." that's how Mrs. Nash views her super son. That the other citizens of Big Town have somewhat diffferent views does not deter her from spurring Captain Nice to ever greater attempts at glory.

How Carter Nash as Captain Nice tries to foil the fearsome Fidget makes a zany tale that will keep you laughing long after you have read the book.
