In the world of phone phreaks, hackers, and scammers, he's a legend. His exploits are hotly debated: could he really get free long-distance calls by whistling into a pay phone? Did his video-game piracy scheme accidentally trigger the first computer virus? And did he really dodge the FBI by using their own wiretapping software against them? Is he even a real person? And if he's ever caught, what would happen to a geek like him in federal prison? Inspired by the incredible stories of real-life hackers, Wizzygig is the thrilling tale of a master manipulator — his journey from precocious child scammer to federally-wanted fugitive, and beyond. In a world transformed by social networks and data leaks, Ed Piskor's debut graphic novel reminds us how much power can rest in the hands of an audacious kid with a keyboard. Review: An excellent read form a master storyteller - An excellent read form a master storyteller. The black & white artwork is gorgeous. Each character looks different from one another, which isn't always the case with cartooning of this sort. The art will draw you into the book but the story will keep you turning the page. I'd highly recommend this book! Review: I want more - I loved seeing the various hacks and scams that Kevin (the protagonist) did during his days of freedom. I almost didn't care if there was a story involved. I want more hacks and scams. Mr. Piskor, if you read these reviews, can you please create an appendix graphic novel of various hacks and scams because your drawings and explanations made it both fun and comprehensible to read about them. I was absorbed in the first 2/3 of the book and then realized that indeed there was a higher story holding this book together, and it will not disappoint. What makes it even better is that this is not some vacuous novel of scams and brutality with no meaning involved. It might be too much to ask that Kevin be more like a populist Robin Hood fighting corporate greed, but what we have is a hero that defies a simple explanation. It is difficult to relate to Kevin, but that isn't the point. The shift from Kevin to our legal system seems to be the point. Thoroughly good book, and seemingly well researched. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,646,027 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,162 in Telecommunications & Sensors #2,816 in Internet & Telecommunications #4,869 in Technothrillers (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 136 Reviews | ## Images ![Wizzywig - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616ge-BWzyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent read form a master storyteller *by B***. on March 8, 2018* An excellent read form a master storyteller. The black & white artwork is gorgeous. Each character looks different from one another, which isn't always the case with cartooning of this sort. The art will draw you into the book but the story will keep you turning the page. I'd highly recommend this book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I want more *by C***K on January 14, 2013* I loved seeing the various hacks and scams that Kevin (the protagonist) did during his days of freedom. I almost didn't care if there was a story involved. I want more hacks and scams.

Thoroughly good book, and seemingly well researched. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An interesting comic somewhat based on true stories *by S***K on July 3, 2013* If you've read much about computer enthusiasts back when computing was rare, you'll recognize some of the tales told in this story. It's a fictionalized amalgam of different famous hacker stories, tied into a narrative. Wizzywig is the name of the hero of the story, a guy who can't stop finding ways to beat the systems placed in front of him. From scamming pizza to stealing phone calls to rigging radio contests, Wizzywig can't help himself and it sometimes gets him into trouble. The story is fun, if somewhat depressing sometimes. The artwork is clean and visually interesting. The book cover is also cool, looking like an old Mac. It looks cool on your shelf. Recommended, especially for people with an interest in the computing of the 70s and 80s. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://congo.desertcart.com/products/4591937-wizzywig](https://congo.desertcart.com/products/4591937-wizzywig) --- *Product available on Desertcart Congo* *Store origin: CD* *Last updated: 2026-09-08*
