Sgt. Fluffy

Don't let the name fool you — Sgt. Fluffy is exactly the kind of gloriously offbeat creation that made Aardvark-Vanaheim's indie comics scene such a treasure in the Bronze Age. Debuting in Jim Valentino's normalman #1 in 1984, this character has persisted across an impressive forty-year span, turning up in collections and anniversary editions that speak to the enduring cult love for Valentino's irreverent universe. Sgt. Fluffy keeps wonderfully eccentric company — sharing pages with the likes of normalman, Captain Everything, and Wolverine MacAlistaire — which tells you everything about the gleefully satirical world this character inhabits. A niche gem with genuine longevity, Sgt. Fluffy is a rewarding find for any collector digging into the rich, weird heart of independent comics.
