Preston Percy

Preston Percy is a supporting character in Don Simpson's satirical superhero parody series, inhabiting a comedic universe populated by absurdist heroes like Megaton Man and Yarn Man. His role plays into the series' irreverent send-up of mainstream comics conventions.

Preston Percy made his debut in the very first issue of Megaton Man back in 1984, stepping onto the page courtesy of the singular Don Simpson and the wonderfully offbeat Kitchen Sink Press. A Bronze Age creation with a gloriously quirky pedigree, Percy inhabits a comics universe populated by the likes of Megaton Man, Stella Starlight, Yarn Man, and Trent Phloog — a roster that tells you everything about the irreverent, satirical spirit of the world he calls home. With appearances stretching across Megaton Man, Bizarre Heroes, and Don Simpson's Bizarre Heroes through the mid-nineties, and a key issue already to his name, he's a rewarding discovery for anyone drawn to the bold, independent comics scene that thrived outside the mainstream.
