New Gloucester, ME - Andrew Peterson is an 11 year old middle school student who uncovered a rare comic book while rummaging through some old collectables his family had stored away. Andrew is the Grandson of "Lobsteroids" creator and writer Jim Peterson. Rich Peterson, Andrew's father says "I don't really know were the graphic novel came from. My son picked right up on it when he saw the cover. I wasn't sure at first, but there it was. The original graphic novel by Lower Level Comics circa 1989."
The Peterson family had no comment regarding the rumors that have spread regarding the authenticity of the find - however, a spokesperson for the family confirmed that the original is on it's way to the experts for analysis.

"It don't matter," Robert A. - comic book collector from Westbrook, Maine. "A gem like this is sure to peak everyone's interests. A Lobsteroids comic book from 1989 or 2089 is worth it's weight in gold far as a I'm concerned."
Others agree. This blog reporter surveyed dozens of folks familiar with the story and everyone agrees that this rare Lobsteroids comic book is something to see. Everyone is looking forward to the first edition reproductions from the Peterson's (hint, hint.)
