Orville Dreugh

Malibu Comics in the mid-1990s was a hotbed of bold creator-driven experimentation, and Metaphysique — launched in 1995 by the father-son team of Norm and Kevin Breyfogle — was one of its more intriguing offerings. Orville Dreugh inhabits that world from the very first issue, sharing its pages with a cast that includes Metaphysique, Dietrich Mater, Adam Mater, Darrel Phaedrus, and Harvey Bilkins. His six catalogued appearances keep him in the realm of the rare and the curious — exactly the kind of character that rewards the dedicated deep-diver into the Modern Age's more offbeat corners.
