Trent Phloog

Trent Phloog is a supporting character from Don Simpson's satirical superhero universe, first appearing alongside Megaton Man. He inhabits Simpson's offbeat comedic world, crossing paths with figures like Yarn Man and Donna Blank across various titles.

Few characters can claim a Bronze Age origin story that stretches all the way into the modern era, but Trent Phloog has been doing exactly that since Don Simpson introduced him in the landmark Megaton Man #1 back in 1984. A fixture of Simpson's wonderfully offbeat corner of comics, Phloog has kept lively company over the decades — sharing pages with the likes of Dragon, Yarn Man, Donna Blank, and Bing Gloom across titles like Savage Dragon, Bizarre Heroes, and Don Simpson's Bizarre Heroes. With 74 catalog appearances and a key issue to his name, he's a testament to the enduring cult appeal of Simpson's irreverent, genre-bending vision. If you love comics that wear their love of the medium on their sleeve while winking at every convention in sight, Trent Phloog is very much worth your time.
