Ignorance, Thy Name Is Bucky

Darby Coleman’s single-issue comic for Andrews McMeel, launched in 2009, is a sharp, self-contained satire that skewers the blind spots and willful obliviousness of its hapless protagonist, Bucky. Written and drawn entirely by Coleman, the book stands as a pointed, one-shot character study rather than an ongoing series, delivering a concise punch of humor and social commentary. Its lasting relevance lies in how effectively it captures a timeless, frustratingly relatable type of ignorance in a single, memorable dose.
