Walter Samms

Walter Samms stepped onto the indie comics scene in 1990, born from the gloriously offbeat imagination of Don Simpson and launched through Fiasco Comics — a corner of the Copper/Modern Age where mainstream superhero conventions got gleefully turned inside out. Running through the mid-'90s, Walter's world is a wonderfully strange one, sharing pages with the likes of Megaton Man, The Meddler, Phantom Jungle Girl, and Donna Blank — a roster that tells you everything about the anarchic, anything-goes spirit of Don Simpson's Bizarre Heroes. With appearances also logged in Bone, Walter has rubbed shoulders with some of the most beloved cult comics of his era, making him a rewarding discovery for collectors who dig deep into the independents and love finding the hidden connective tissue of '90s alternative comics.
