A mysterious multi-headed totem pole, brought back from an archeologist's expedition, breaks apart and many of its heads enter various pieces of reading material, thereby creating fantasy worlds based on the subjects at hand and threatening the very Earth itself in the process. Low Man, the lone remaining head, realizes the gravity of the situation and springs into action, attempting to find someone (or thing) to save all of existence on his behalf. The best he can hope for, though, is a sharpened pencil he magically brings to life. This new hero, the wildly exciteable (if slightly crazed) and self-dubbed "Wild Woody", is given the task and ability to enter these various worlds, find his lost brothers and secure them back from whence they came.
