Bookroo's summary

Join Vordak the Incomprehensible as he hilariously guides you through the art of villainy. From crafting the perfect evil name to assembling a loyal band of henchmen, Vordak's step-by-step manual promises to elevate your dastardly ambitions. But can you truly achieve world domination from a basement in Trenton, New Jersey? With witty chapters like "Bringing Out the Evil" and interactive quizzes, this book challenges you to rise above the ordinary. Will you secure a place in Vordak's evil regime, or will he seize control if you falter? Embark on this comedic journey to infamy.

From the publisher

Slip on your acid-free gloves, make sure you have a duplicate copy of How to Grow Up and Rule the World (just in case something should happen to this one), and try to follow along as the incomparable, superior-in-all-ways Vordak the Incomprehensible teaches you a thing or two about villainy. Now you, too, can try (and fail) to attain Vordak’s level of infamy. From selecting the most dastardly name, to choosing the ideal henchmen, to engaging in witty repartee with disgustingly chipper superheroes, experienced supervillain Vordak the Incomprehensible guides readers step-by-step toward the ultimate goal of world domination (from his parents’ basement in Trenton, New Jersey). With chapter titles like “Bringing Out the Evil” and “Building a Top-Notch Evil Organization,” numerous bold illustrations, and detailed quizzes to assess your level of dastardliness, this book provides everything necessary to rise above the masses, and then rub your ascent in their faces. In return for this wealth of knowledge, Vordak requests nothing more than an honored place in the evil regime of he who achieves control of the world. (And, of course, the opportunity to assume command, should things not work out.)
