1''Croco the Crocodile'' is a series of a self-written and self-drawn comic book made by troper Tropers/CounterBlitzkrieg when he was a kid (with the help of his little brother). The books follow the format of the Italian Creator/{{Disney}} comics with some long story arcs and some short story which only took a page. Though unlike the Creator/{{Disney}} characters, the Croco comic characters are not too anthropomorphic which was shown at their lack of bipedality. A large inspiration of the story is derived from the Italian-made Creator/{{Disney}} comics, Franchise/{{Pokemon}}, Franchise/WinnieThePooh and the old [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] {{Superhero}} comics before it got DarkerAndEdgier.

3Most of the story is set in the islands of Animalia in the country known as the Animal Republic. The major islands of these are Bermuda and the aptly named Animal Island. Geographically, the republic is located in what in the real world as the British Bermuda. The animal republic contains many different sentient animals who lived in there; whales, sharks, dinosaurs, penguins, walruses, and many more. The capital of the republic is Crocville, which made the crocodilian city (and the crocodile species) to be an important part of the country.

5Our main character Croco Gator is only a middle school crocodile student living in Crocville, Animal Republic. However, he is secretly a superhero known as Super Croco. He also has a brother tank (yes, [[TankGoodness tank]]) named Tanky who is secretly Super Tanky. He also has a best friend named Cradi, who is secretly Super Cradi. The trio formed a superhero group known as Team Croco. As the story progresses, team Croco continues to grow as they recruit many more animals into the rank. However, they also unwittingly created their own RoguesGallery as they continue to fight more villains.
