Who is Yarn Man?

Yarn Man is a comedic superhero parody character from Don Simpson's satirical indie series Megaton Man, inhabiting the same absurdist universe as Megaton Man and later crossing over into titles like Savage Dragon.

Yarn Man is one of those delightfully offbeat Bronze Age creations that reminds you why indie comics in the 1980s were such a breath of fresh air β€” born in Don Simpson's Megaton Man #1 in 1984, this quirky character has woven his way through four decades of comics history. Popping up across Megaton Man, Bizarre Heroes, and Savage Dragon, he's kept lively company with the likes of Megaton Man, Dragon, and Donna Blank, putting him squarely in the irreverent, anything-goes corner of the Image universe. With 36 catalog appearances stretching all the way to 2024 and at least one collector-significant key issue to his name, Yarn Man is a cult favorite worth unraveling β€” a testament to the enduring charm of Simpson's wonderfully weird superhero satire.
