Concealed Carrie is a new kind of superhero, whose power is disguise, whose skill is a facility with make-up, and whose secret weapon is a purse full of cosmetics. She lives in Hanging Basket, Arkansas, where she battles such villains as the Litterbug, the Jaywalker, and the Businessman. By day, she presents herself as Cathy Lee Linker, a mild-mannered beauty professional who is raising a teenaged niece and dating a good-for-nothing man.
