Aphidman

A genuinely offbeat corner of Bronze Age independent comics, Aphidman debuted in Eclipse Monthly #4 in 1984, brought to life by the legendary team of Don McGregor and Gene Colan — a pairing that alone makes any issue worth hunting down. Eclipse Comics was one of the most adventurous publishers of the era, and this curious character shares those pages with a wonderfully eclectic cast including The Masked Man and Cap'n Quick. With only four catalog appearances, Aphidman is a rare find for collectors who love the weird, wonderful fringes of '80s independent comics.
