Simon Phloog

Simon Phloog is a minor character in Donald Simpson's satirical superhero universe, debuting alongside the parody ensemble of the Uncategorizable X+Thems. He inhabits a comedic, irreverent world populated by figures like Megaton Man and Yarn Man.

Born into the offbeat world of Donald Simpson's satirical superhero universe, Simon Phloog made his debut in 1989's Megaton Man Meets The Uncategorizable X+Thems #1 — a title that practically announces its own irreverence. A Copper Age original with a surprisingly long shelf life, Simon has kept remarkable company across his appearances, sharing pages with the likes of Megaton Man, Mighty Man, Dragon, and the wonderfully named Yarn Man. His footprint across titles like Savage Dragon and Savage Dragon vs. Savage Megaton Man speaks to a character who has quietly persisted through more than three decades of indie comics history — a charming testament to the lasting, interconnected world that Image's more playful corner has always harbored. With only nine catalog appearances, Simon Phloog is the kind of deep-cut discovery that reminds devoted readers why digging through back issues is always worth the effort.
