Though they've been around for 80 years now, the Hardy Boys have never been more contemporary than in these manga-style graphic novels from Papercutz. The Undercover Brothers not only work for a secretive government agency now but their crime-fighting methods have gotten a Tony Hawkish makeover. The results are quite attractive and a good bit of fun. If they get kids to go back and read the classic books, all the better. (Reviewed:) Grade: (B+) Tweet Websites:-WIKIPEDIA: Franklin W.
