The Complete normalman #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection gathers the complete run of Fred Hembeck's satirical superhero series 'Normalman,' originally published by various indie presses in the 1980s and early '90s. The book follows the adventures of Normalman, the sole ordinary human on a planet of bizarre super-beings, as he navigates a world filled with parodies of iconic comic characters. Featuring Hembeck's signature cartoony style and meta-humor, this volume includes crossovers and guest appearances by numerous cult-favorite characters from the indie comics scene of the era.
"Something Like an Origin" introduces normalman in a striking, self-contained origin story by Jim Valentino, who handles every aspect of the interior—writing, art, inking, and lettering. The tale begins with a sudden, desperate act: normalman’s father launches him into space, believing Earth is doomed, only for him to crash-land on a planet where everyone possesses super-powers. The cover, also by Valentino, captures the moment with stark, expressive detail.
