The Nutsmacker is the world’s first (I’m willing to bet) comic book with pieces of music embedded right in the action. It’s a superhero story about a mild-mannered office worker by day who dons a Nutcracker mask by night and fights crime under the moniker “The Nutsmacker!” He wields a pantyhose full of walnuts (in shells for extra crackin’ smackin’ action’) to fight crime and keep our city safe. Accompanying the comics are all the major numbers from Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker Ballet, arranged for intermediate piano.
