Story by Kaja Blackley

Art by Alex Hawley

Colouring by Christina Blackley

In Kid K-OS: The Agents of Doom, readers meet 11-year-old Buster Jones, an eccentric and freckle-faced youngster known to his neighbours and schoolmates as the geeky and gullible outsider. But that's all part of his cover. He's really a genius who harbours many secrets. Upon graduating from university at age 7, Buster was recruited by a special branch of the military to become an agent of HIVE - The Headquarters Investigating Visiting Evil.

Assigned the code name 'Kid K-OS' and trained in hand-to-hand combat Buster, his one-armed bodyguard, Jack Crypt, and best friend, Zoe Nine, use their extraordinary talents to fight the Gorgonauts - extraterrestrial enemies of Planet Earth.

Kid K-OS is available at Chapters, Art House 7 and comic book stores!
