Pteranoman

Swooping onto the indie comics scene in 1990, Pteranoman is a Copper Age original from the singular imagination of Don Simpson, published through Fiasco Comics and part of the wonderfully offbeat universe that Simpson built over more than three decades. This is a character who shares pages with the likes of Megaton Man, Ms. Megaton Man, and a gloriously eccentric supporting cast, making their home primarily in Bizarre Heroes — a title that wears its gonzo ambitions right on its sleeve. With a run stretching all the way to 2023, Pteranoman is a testament to the staying power of creator-owned, deeply personal comics storytelling, and for fans who love discovering the weird, wonderful corners of the medium that the Big Two never mapped, this is exactly the kind of find worth digging for.
