Fatman the Human Flying Saucer #1

In this whimsical tale, young Van Crawford stumbles upon a shrinking alien spacecraft that transforms into a humanoid being from another world, who tests Van’s quick thinking and compassion before granting him the power to become a flying saucer. With a burst of chocolate-flavored science sorcery, Van gains incredible abilities, setting him on a course to become the heroic Fatman—the Human Flying Saucer—though he’s still trying to wrap his head around the fact that he’s now literally a flying disk.

When wealthy Van Crawford hooks a mysterious giant from the ocean depths, he’s pulled overboard—prompting his transformation into the Human Flying Saucer to confront the colossal creature. As the battle unfolds, the monstrous Anti-Man reveals a tragic past and a vow to destroy humanity, forcing the hero to face not just a physical threat, but the weight of a long-buried history.

When the perpetually mocked Lucius Pindle stumbles upon an old charm book, he accidentally transforms into a towering, metallic hero known as Tinman—only to find himself mistaken for a menace when he crashes into a stormy beach. As his former classmates gawk and his new powers spiral out of control, a familiar flying saucer descends, bringing the unlikely arrival of Fatman, who may be the only one who can help him before the whole town turns on the new "super" they don’t understand.

In a delightfully absurd twist, Fatman and his sidekick Tinman set out to battle the menace of Anti-Man, only to find themselves caught in a bizarre, telepathically fueled showdown between the aquatic villain and Tinman—complete with boxing, wrestling, and a surprise reveal that turns the tide in the most unexpected way. As the battle rages on land and sea, the true nature of Anti-Man’s fearsome reputation begins to unravel, leading to a resolution that’s as ridiculous as it is oddly heartfelt.
