HOW TO DRAW 101 SUPER HEROES (WITH LUKE SKYWALKER)

This is the book How to Draw 101 Super Heroes. Don't let the title fool you, though, because this book doesn't teach you how to draw and there aren't 101 super heroes, either. Yeah, it's a really pathetic book. By the end of this post I'm sure you'll agree.

Yep, that's Luke Skywalker in the bottom left corner of the cover.

Inside the book, we learn his name is Layzar.

There's another character in this book I'm a bit suspicious of, but only a little. It's a robot, and its name is either UDD2, which would resemble R2-D2, or it's UDDZ. The font is sloppy, almost as much as the drawings.

This book was released in 2005 by Top That! Publishing Inc., and I'm pretty sure I could top that.

There's 101 characters in this book, but a lot of them aren't super heroes. Luke Skywalker is a good example. There's also Robin Hood, Buffalo Bill, a surfer, a skater, a Russian guy, a man in an airplane, a hunter, Sitting Bull, a pirate... And the characters that are super heroes  fail to impress. If you're doubtful, just take a look at Super Silly-us and Super Nan.

On one page, there's actually guys named Super Boy and Iron Man! It's like they ran out of names! 

Later on in 2008, Top That! Publishing Inc. rehashed this book and slapped it within a giant book called How to Draw. And yes, Layzar's still inside the book, though he no longer graces the cover.

The cover promises "Over 400 step-by-step pictures to draw!". There's just a few over 400.
