The Terrible Trio is a fun illustrated series, best described

as The Bad Guys meets Madagascar!

In a world where all animals have superpowers, Zeb the zebra,

Margarine the penguin, and Barry the lemur have the WORST powers

of all.

Zeb, Margarine, and Barry end up at the back of the line to have

the Superpower Supermarket Manager grant them their superpowers

and end up getting the short end of the stick. Margarine is granted

the special ability to make macaroni and cheese. Barry the Lemur

is gifted with the power to write neatly. And Zeb the Zebra

can now blend in with a crosswalk...

Working at a café and watching everybody else save the

world day in and day out, Zeb, Margarine, and Barry wonder if they

will ever get to be superheroes for a day themselves.
