DEATH RAY GNTeen outcast Andy is an orphaned nobody with only one friend, the obnoxious but loyal Louie. They roam school halls and city streets, invisible to everyone but bullies and tormentors, until the glorious day when Andy takes his first puff on a cigarette. The Death Ray employs the staples of the superhero genre origin, costume, ray gun, sidekick, fight scene and reconfigures them in a story that is anything but morally simplistic.
