Mystery Men Stories

Bob Burden—the singular creator behind the cult-favorite Flaming Carrot—writes and draws this offbeat Dark Horse series, which debuted in 1996. A single-issue entry, it expands his signature universe of absurd, low-rent superheroes with his trademark deadpan humor and idiosyncratic art style. For fans of Burden's quirky storytelling, this is a compact but essential piece of his long-running, one-of-a-kind comic book mythology.
