Professor Myron Markham

Chester Brown's cult Canadian anthology Yummy Fur was one of the Copper Age's most gloriously strange corners of alternative comics, and Professor Myron Markham is a figure who inhabits that wonderfully weird world. Debuting in 1987 from Vortex, he shares those pages with an unforgettable cast — Ed the Happy Clown, Josie, and even the likes of Ronald Reagan and Jesus Christ — which tells you everything about the anarchic, boundary-pushing spirit of the series. With only a handful of catalog appearances across 1987–1988, Markham is a rare and curious find, the kind of deep-cut character that rewards collectors who dig into the underground and alternative scene that made Yummy Fur legendary.
