About the series
Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s four-issue DC series Flex Mentallo (1996–present) reimagines a parody character from the duo’s Doom Patrol as the star of his own mind-bending, metafictional saga. A muscular, reality-bending hero whose power stems from his extraordinary physique, Flex Mentallo navigates a surreal landscape that blends Silver Age superheroics with postmodern commentary on comics, memory, and identity. The series stands as a cult touchstone for its ambitious, trippy exploration of the medium’s potential, driven by Morrison’s dense scripting and Quitely’s distinctive, detailed art.
