    SpyBoy is a comic book series created in 1999 by writer Peter David and artists Pop Mhan and Norman Lee, and published by Dark Horse Comics.

    Publication history

    The basic idea for SpyBoy came from Dark Horse Comics, who hired Peter David to develop the concept, including the cast, their backstories, and the series bible. However, David has lamented that the ideas he had for the series' run were not completed, as Dark Horse did not continue with it.[1]

    Between 1999 and 2004, SpyBoy ran for 17 issues, 2 miniseries (The M.A.N.G.A. Affair in 2003 and Final Exam in 2004), various one-shots and a crossover 3-issue miniseries with DC Comics, called SpyBoy/Young Justice (David is also creator of this DC team) published in 2002 and later compiled in one volume.

    Plot

    This is the story of Alex Fleming, a young boy who was bullied in his school and had a normal life. But he doesn't know that he's a sleeper agent, codenamed as "SpyBoy",[2] who works for secret organization S.H.I.R.T.S. (acronym for Secret Headquarters International Reconnaissance, Tactics, and Spies), in order to stop criminal organization S.K.I.N.S. (acronym for Supreme Killing Institute).[3]
