The Slug

Born from the imaginative pen of Mike Allred in 2000, The Slug made their debut in The Atomics #1 and has been a distinctive presence in the colorful, offbeat corner of Modern Age comics that Allred built at AAA Pop. With 32 appearances spanning over two decades — across The Atomics, Savage Dragon, and the Madman Library Edition — this is a character with genuine staying power in an indie universe that rewards devoted fans. Sharing pages with the likes of Frank Einstein, Madman, It Girl, and Dorrie Lopez, The Slug keeps some of the most stylish, pop-art-infused company in alternative superhero comics. If you love the weird, wonderful world Allred crafted, The Slug is absolutely worth tracking down.
