So often, stories tend to focus on the Hero or the Villain. They are the leader, right? But what about their trusty sidekicks and loyal minions? Don’t they deserve to have their tales told? These authors explore the stories from the sidekick or minion perspective. We get to see what goes on behind the scenes in the lair, and how their boss truly is when the public cannot see. But not only comic book style sidekicks. Powerful Queens, robot detectives, and more have their own stories to tell of triumph, love, loss, and a comradery overshadowed by their boss.
