Reid Fleming, World's Toughest Milkman

David Boswell’s Reid Fleming, World's Toughest Milkman launched from Eclipse Comics in 1986, a single-issue cult classic that introduced an absurdly deadpan, violently belligerent milkman navigating a surreal, working-class world. Boswell wrote and drew the entire debut, establishing a uniquely caustic tone that blended slapstick with a grim, deadpan wit. Despite only one issue, the character’s enduring, offbeat charm has kept him a beloved footnote in indie comics history.
