Viper Comics is thrilled to announce we have secured Inspector Gadget and (Cartoon Networks) Johnny Test license. Viper will be developing books based on both Inspector Gadget and Johnny Test and releasing them in 2011. Jessie Garza with Viper states, "we are ecstatic to have been granted the opportunity to give both of these characters the comic treatment. These are two awesome properties to add to our line-up of recently acquired license (Odd Rods)." INSPECTOR GADGET Inspector Gadget is an animated television series developed about a clumsy, simple-witted detective named Inspector Gadget, who is a human being with various bionic gadgets built into his body. Gadget's arch-nemesis is Dr. Claw, the leader of an evil organization, known as "M.A.D." Often cluelessly stumbling through any case he is given, Gadget frequently ignorantly makes foolish and insufferably clumsy mistakes pertaining to surroundings and current environment, mistaking innocent bystanders (and sometimes Brain, his niece Penny's dog) for enemies, and believing that the real enemies are friends.

JOHNNY TEST Johnny Test concerns the adventures of Johnny Test, an average 11-year-old boy who lives in
