The Snips is a superhero series filled with action, adventure, comedy, and hijinks for readers who love Dav Pilkey and animated television shows like Scooby-Doo and Guess Who. The Snips aren’t your average heroes – Casco, Patty, Letty, Nubes, and Flealix the Dog make up Scissor City’s beloved crew of crime-fighting, mystery-solving barbers! But not everyone in Scissor City is a fan of their dazzling dos and wacky hair inventions. Buzz and Boffo Buzzington, the descendants of the creator of the buzz cut, have been desperately trying to find a way to overthrow the Snips, restore Buzz Corp—their family’s company—to the top of the hair-cutting world, and finally earn the respect of their father Biff Buzzington Sr. Can the Snips keep the citizens of Scissor City safe from the hijinks of the Bad Buzz Boyz and still give amazing hairdos?
This easy-to-read graphic novel series will be perfect for kids 7-10, those who are reluctant readers or newly independent readers, as well as kids who just like jokes, puns, and outrageous humor.

“Author/illustrator Raúl the Third and returning colorist Bay weave an adventure that’s packed with punny humor, hair-larious worldbuilding, and richly hued artwork…. A shear feast of an adventure.”Kirkus
-
“Humorous puns, consistent worldbuilding, and quirky conflicts make this a rollicking crime-fighting adventure.”Publishers Weekly
-
“Raúl’s signature bright, bold art style is blended with comic-book formatting that jumps off the page….A wildly enjoyable reminder that the greatest success comes not from winning, but from bringing support and joy to the community.”Booklist
-
"Much like Dav Pilkey’s “Dog Man” or Aaron Blabey’s “Bad Guys” series, this graphic novel plays on the superhero genre with humor and kid-friendly action. The illustration elevates this concept even further by using character poses and designs inspired by popular comics of the 1970s and 1980s….A fresh look at the early reader superhero genre with unbeatable art that pushes boundaries."SLJ
