About the series
Don Simpson’s Splitting Image is a five-issue Image Comics series from 1993 that gleefully skewers the early-’90s superhero boom. Co-written by Simpson, Jim Valentino, and Rob Liefeld, it’s a chaotic, satirical mash-up where characters like Dragon, Kurr, Megaton Man, and Trent Phloog collide in a parody of the era’s over-the-top style and creator-owned hype. Simpson’s manic art and writing anchor this short-lived but fondly remembered send-up, offering a knowing wink at the very industry that produced it.
