Synopsis:

An eclectic cast of American teenagers is assembled to match wits on Valedictorian USA, a fiercely competitive reality television show. As contestant after contestant is eliminated, the stakes get higher and higher. But the show’s cast, crew, and audience could never have prepared themselves for the catastrophic fallout when one of the teen stars commits suicide. "Stephen Hines, through Valedictorian USA, has given us the educational system that our narcissistic and selfish and generally awful populace deserves." -RAFER ROBERTS (Author and illustrator of Plastic Farm) Valedictorian USA is "...a dog-eat-dog elimination book... that play[s] out like a television show, with character interviews and the works. Even commercials! The levels of irony are boundless and spot on." Todd Goodman (Old World Comics)

About the Author: Stephen Hines was spawned, and currently lives, in Ohio. When he’s not infiltrating the system by teaching high school English, he’s writing. So far he’s published one young adult novel (Hocus Focus), a short story in a dystopian sci-fi anthology (Das Krakenhaus Publishing) called The End of the World as We Know It, a one-shot surrealist horror comic (Icon-O-Plastic), and has several ongoing comic book series (Valedictorian USA, Crackerstacker, and Zombie Fabulous!). His horror graphic novel, S.M.K., is being illustrated as well. He’s currently hard at work on a memoir (Rebirth Defect: My Journey From Catholic Altar Boy to Teen Atheist to Adult Christian Metal Evangelist and Back to Atheism) that will surely alienate the few friends he still has.
