The Return of Megaton Man

Don Simpson’s self-published superhero satire returns to Kitchen Sink Press with a three-issue run starting in 1988, picking up the absurd adventures of the oversized, dim-witted Megaton Man and his colorful supporting cast—including the villainous Badguy, reporter Bart Gamble, and the glamorous Stella Starlight. A cult favorite of the alternative-comics era, this series skewers Golden Age and Silver Age tropes with Simpson’s manic, detailed artwork and deadpan humor, cementing its place as a smart, affectionate parody of the genre.
