"Nearly 25 years ago, when I was working on the Captain Underpants books and before Dog Man was published, I wrote and illustrated my first graphic novel, The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby, created in the same style as how I imagined my 9-year-old characters George and Harold would''ve written and drawn the story. In this book, I included my early sketches, storyboard, notes about the editing process, and a behind-the-scenes look at how I painted the cover. In this new edition, George and Harold, who are now older, have gone back to add full color and edit their spelling mistakes. I''m excited that more readers will discover one of my favorite superhero characters I''ve created. He may be small in size, but he makes a big impact. My hope is that kids everywhere are inspired to write and draw their own original comics and continue to improve without worrying about being perfect." -- Dog Man author and illustrator Dav Pilkey
