Lethargic Lad Adventures

Greg Hyland’s Lethargic Lad Adventures is a self-aware superhero parody from Crusade Comics, launched in 1997 and still ongoing after just two issues. Hyland writes and draws the series, which stars a hilariously unmotivated hero whose name says it all, poking gentle fun at Silver Age tropes and the very idea of caped crusading. A cult oddity, it matters as a sustained, single-creator labor of love that proves a comic can thrive on pure, low-key charm.
