- Imagine if Batman hired a press agent. Actually, you don't
- have to -- California comic-book artist Rob Liefeld has
- imagined it for you in his Youngblood series of comics, where
- the superheroes have speechwriters, spandex-mad wardrobe
- consultants and other celebrity perks. As Young blood orders
- exceed 600,000, studios and merchandisers envision movies, T
- shirts and toys based on the series. Liefeld, 24, is now a
- celebrity himself -- to his dismay. "I'm just a regular schmo.
- The only difference between me and everyone else is that I get
- to wear shorts to work."
