Kozmik Kat

Kozmik Kat is a cat character from Don Simpson's satirical indie superhero universe, debuting in Megaton Man #2 and sharing that world with parody heroes like Megaton Man and Yarn Man. Part of Simpson's irreverent, genre-bending take on superhero comics.

Dreamed up by the wonderfully inventive Don Simpson and first prowling the panels of Megaton Man #2 in 1985, Kozmik Kat is a delightful artifact of the Bronze Age's most playful, genre-bending corner of comics. This Fiasco Comics creation has shown remarkable staying power, popping up across nearly four decades in titles like Bizarre Heroes, Savage Dragon, and Megaton Man — no small feat for a character from the indie underground. Sharing pages with the likes of Megaton Man, Yarn Man, and the gloriously named Cowboy Gorilla, Kozmik Kat clearly inhabits one of comics' most charmingly offbeat neighborhoods. For collectors who love the irreverent, imaginative spirit that made 1980s independent comics so special, this cat is absolutely worth tracking down.
