Timothy Dinoman is on the trail of a stolen satellite!

To learn what these suspected supervillains want with outer-space tech, the world’s nicest iguanodon will visit a mountain fortress, a giant blimp, and a diner with excellent pancakes. On the way, he’ll even meet a really cute cat. Grab your rocket boots and your fake mustache—it’s time to crack the case with Timothy!

Don’t miss all the adventures of Timothy Dinoman: super spy, iguanodon, and good friend with good manners. Whenever master criminals threaten the planet, Timothy jet-packs to the rescue. With elite combat skills, a positive outlook, and help from his tech-expert pal Jen, he is Earth’s best defense against its worst, rudest bad guys. In this middle-grade graphic novel series, cartoonist Steve Thueson presents blockbusters in book form, complete with over-the-top action and sweet, irreverent humor.
