Chuck Roast

Chuck Roast is a supporting character in Don Simpson's satirical superhero universe, debuting alongside Megaton Man in 1984. He inhabits a world that gleefully parodies superhero conventions, sharing the cast with characters like See-Thru Girl and Yarn Man.

Chuck Roast burst onto the scene in Don Simpson's Megaton Man #1 back in 1984, a Bronze Age debut from the irreverent indie publisher Kitchen Sink Press that planted this character firmly in one of comics' most gleefully satirical corners. With a run stretching all the way to 2023, Chuck has kept surprisingly enduring company alongside the likes of Megaton Man, See-Thru Girl, Yarn Man, and Stella Starlight across titles like Megaton Man Meets The Uncategorizable X+Thems and Savage Dragon vs. Savage Megaton Man — a roster that signals just how wonderfully offbeat this slice of comics history truly is. Six appearances may be a compact legacy, but one of them carries key-issue weight, and for fans of Simpson's sharp, affectionate skewering of superhero convention, Chuck Roast is exactly the kind of deep-cut character that makes digging through indie back issues such a rewarding adventure.
