Fatman the Human Flying Saucer

A delightfully oddball creation from Lightning Comics in the late 1960s, Fatman the Human Flying Saucer is a three-issue series that pairs legendary writer Otto Binder with iconic artist C. C. Beck. The premise is exactly as wild as the title suggests, with Beck’s clean, cartoony style bringing a surreal sense of charm to Binder’s inventive sci-fi plotting. Though brief, the series stands as a curious footnote in comics history, showcasing two of the medium’s most influential talents taking a playful detour into the absurd.
