A Sheep in the Head

In A Sheep in the Head, the sixth volume in the popular graphic novel series about Jon Le Bon, Super-agent, readers are again on the edge of their seats as Jon coolly faces another death- defying mission to protect the planet.

On this occasion, the arch-villain is Gabriel Lobe whose passion for computers has inspired him to create the largest artificial brain ever made. He plans to form one world consciousness by taking over everybody’s mind. Then there would be no disputes, but neither would there be free thought. Lobe is missing, and his computer, the Intraneuronal 3000, is now in the hands of the Agency. Jon and Billy must unify various aspects of its codes so it can be used for good such as treating psychopaths or traumatized agents. Unfortunately, to do this, they must enter the brain, risking complete loss of their conscious minds.

The range of characters in A Sheep in the Head is, as usual, diverse and delightfully over the top. The two heroes, Jon, a moose, and Billy, a worm, apply their skills and logical approach to their serious purpose but still maintain their sense of humor and ability to kid around even under difficult circumstances. They also find an unlikely helper in Lobe, himself, who reappears and conducts Jon through various fascinating centers of the brain! Needless to say, with help from agents representing the strength of the Agency and using the high tech at his disposal, Jon triumphs over evil despite some perilous action-packed adventures. As in other volumes, the bold stylized graphics entertain with their bright colors and humorous, quirky, off-beat details.

Children who love fantasy, mystery and intrigue will find A Sheep in the Head to be another fast-paced entertaining title in this beloved Canadian series.
