Description
Emilio Rompiero (a.k.a. Romp) is a shy, delusional, teenage boy who has
convinced himself that he is the ultimate street-fighting superhero, in spite of
the small fact that he was born without any arms! He teams up with his
super attendant, Chi Chi Gigante, a one-eyed, recovering alcoholic, former
Pro-Wrestling Midget Champion. Together, this Disfunctional Dynamic Duo set out
to reclaim their Crime Infested 'Hood.....one block at a time.
His first day "On the Job," Romp mentally prepares for the tough but valiant
road ahead. Today he reclaims his block. Today is his first streetfight. The
Challenger? Merely a 6ft. 4in., 315 lb. local bully named Lu Lu Lewbrowski. If
he loses? Well then back to the true but painful reality of his sad, tragic life
as a lonely comic book clerk he goes. But if he wins.... a world of Fame and
Glory awaits him...but his delusional fantasy continues on.
