The adventures of wound man and Shirley

"Shirley is a teenage boy with a girl's name, growing up in suburbia and feeling like the weirdest kid in the school. Nothing makes much sense to him, and his heart belongs to a classmate who barely knows he exists. Wound Man is an unconventional superhero, sprung from the pages of a medieval medical textbook, with an alarming assortment of weapons sticking out from every part of his body. Wound Man has just moved into a house on Shirley's street--and he happens to have a vacancy for a teenage sidekick."--Page 4 of cover.
