Captain Everything

Captain Everything is a satirical superhero character from the normalman universe, created by Jim Valentino as part of his affectionate parody of Bronze Age comics tropes. He debuted in the pages of Cerebus and shares his absurdist world with characters like normalman and Sgt. Fluffy.

Bursting onto the scene in the pages of Dave Sim's legendary Cerebus in 1983, Captain Everything is a Bronze Age creation from Valentino that embodies the irreverent, satirical spirit of that era's indie comics underground. A fixture of the normalman universe — itself one of the most affectionate and sharp-elbowed parodies the Bronze Age produced — this character has kept remarkably colorful company over the decades, sharing adventures with normalman, Sgt. Fluffy, and Wolverine MacAlistaire. The fact that Captain Everything has maintained a presence in the catalog from 1983 all the way through 2024 speaks to the enduring charm of Valentino's comedic vision, and any fan who loves their superhero satire with genuine wit and indie heart will find this character well worth tracking down.
