The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby, the first children’s graphic novel by bestselling author and illustrator Dav Pilkey, is now in full color!
George and Harold are two amazing kids.
Not only did they create Captain Underpants, but they saved the world five times!
But once again George and Harold are in trouble with their school principal, Mr. Krupp. After they make a mess in the school gym, they have to write a 100-page report on “good citizenship,” so they invent a new superhero: Super Diaper Baby.
This is an actual baby called Billy who gains special super powers. Super Diaper Baby’s archenemy, Deputy Dangerous, wants to steal his powers and take over the planet. Will the diaper-wearing dynamo defeat the deputy, or is the entire Earth doomed?
Featuring a special appearance by Captain Underpants, The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby is the hysterical graphic novel tale of the all-new superhero who’s faster than a speeding stroller and more powerful than diaper rash.

Dav Pilkey

When Dav Pilkey was a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hallway every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories. He spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books – the very first adventures of Dog Man and Captain Underpants.

In college, Dav met a teacher who encouraged him to illustrate and write. He won a national competition in 1986 and the prize was the publication of his first book, World War Won. He made many other books before being awarded the 1998 California Young Reader Medal for Dog Breath, which was published in 1994, and in 1997 he won the Caldecott Honor for The Paperboy.

The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby, published in 2002, was the first complete graphic novel spin-off from the Captain Underpants series and appeared at #6 on the USA Today bestseller list for all books, both adult and children’s, and was also a New York Times bestseller. It was followed by Super Diaper Baby 2: The Invasion of the Potty Snatchers, also a USA Today bestseller. The unconventional style of these graphic novels is intended to encourage uninhibited creativity in kids.

His stories are semi-autobiographical and explore universal themes that celebrate friendship, tolerance, and the triumph of the good-hearted.

Dav loves to kayak in the Pacific Northwest with his wife.
