Boy sneaks homemade comic onto library shelf and 50 people request to read it

An eight-year-old boy has gone viral after sneaking his homemade comic book into a library, with more than 50 people signing up to a waitlist to read his graphic novel.

Dillon Helbig, from Idaho, was determined to get his work published and slipped his creation onto the shelves at a local library.

It took the young author four days to write and illustrate.
