Welcome!

Welcome to The Treehouse Gazette, the official blog of the Whiz Kids comic book.  Whiz Kids is an independently produced comic book created by Jeremy Alps and Jack Zulkey.

In a Nebraska barn, an eleven-year-old boy builds a working electromagnetic power reactor using his father's farming tools.

With an outdated laptop, a ten-year-old girl creates an artificial intelligence program more advanced than anything yet seen.

A twelve-year-old boy, experimenting on his pet gerbil with the chemistry set he got for Christmas, finds that Boogers is now immune to every known disease.


Ten years from now, the world has been shocked by the discovery of incredible child prodigies with astounding scientific talents.  As the governments of the world struggle to make sense of the accomplishments of these amazing children, no one is quite sure how to live in the brave new world that has been ushered in by these so-called Whiz Kids.  Debate rages over whether the prodigies should be protected or exploited, locked away or allowed to flourish.

But no one ever considered that the kids themselves might take matters into their own hands.
