The ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}} Most Wanted'' book where Dr. Maniac invades the real world.
Richard Dreezer is a huge comic book fan who wishes his life is was more like one. It has to be better than his current life, where he has to deal with bickering parents, an annoying little brother, and a class full of people who don't like him. One day, strange things start going down at the local comic book museum. Then comic book characters start invading the real world, and Richard sees this this stuff is far less appealing in reality. To make things worse, he soon has to tangle with a certain maniacal doctor. Will Richard be able to make it out of this alive?
