Laura Ellen Anderson

 

Evil Emperor Penguin: Antics in Antarctica (Paperback)


Waterstones Says

The comics in this book were originally published as Evil Emperor Penguin and Evil Emperor Penguin Strikes Back!

In the icy, snow-covered depths of Antarctica is the secret lair of an extraordinary penguin. Evil Emperor Penguin! From the bottom of the world, he's got his sights set on taking the whole thing over! Unfortunately, he's really not very good at it. Especially when his rival, Evil Cat, is trying to beat him at his own world-domination game!

With his lovable assistant Eugene, and octopus butler Number 8, Evil Emperor Penguin is the most devious, cutest and funniest evil mastermind ever to waddle the Earth! Just not the most successful...
