Behind the superhero — trucking minds at work
September 2, 2009
| by: Todd Dills
Brothers Nick and James Ventrillo are a pair of former truckers — they ran XX Trucking, out of Las Vegas, earlier this decade — at opposite ends of the IQ spectrum. The longer-term hauler of the two, Nick, has an astoundingly high 200 score. In the pair’s first work of fiction, part of their self-styled “Rick amp; Bobo” adventure series, James’ character is the bozo (Bobo) who decides that the best thing to do with an astounding amount of cash they’ve come into is to turn himself into a superhero. True to life, it’s trucker Rick who has the brains to pull it all off, with exciting results. Download the ebook or order the paper via rickandbobo.com.
