ABOUT
When self-proclaimed dinosaur genius StEvEn gets crushed by his nemesis Bernard, a full-on rivalry begins. The mission: dominate the school science fair and prove that Bernard is the biggest goober of all. StEvEn recruits his besties Anwar and Phoebe and his very reluctant older brother Parker to help.
After a string of hilariously disastrous experiments, the crew finally invents something cool—a super-duper cleaning slime powerful enough to tackle any mess…including Parker’s gigantic zit!
Their slime is shoo-in for victory though Steven also accidentally sabotages Bernard’s volcano experiment. Who really deserves the winning trip to the La Brea Tar Pits?
Inspired by the popular Youtube series, StEvEn and Parker: Dr.Know-It-All is a hilarious tale of over-the-top science experiments, friendship, and the importance of owning up to your mistakes.
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
