Meet the Flaming Carrot, the comic book world’s most mysterious, arcane and perhaps, ridiculous character. One of the founding members of the Mysterymen, his exploits set the style for a torrent of offbeat 1980’s heroes. Appearing on the scene in the late 1970’s and going into a regular series in 1983, the majority of comic book readers didn’t quite know what to make of him and many even found him quite disturbing.

Flaming Carrot, Man of Mystery returns! Road Hogs from Outer Space! Death gets drunk! The Artless Dodger rides a lawnmower down a stairs and over people like it was a surfboard! Sponge Boy is kidnapped by the Bandit Moons! Flaming Carrot runs with the skeletons to the land of lost buttons! This volume collects the early first issues of the long out-of-print, surrealist superhero series that was one of the top selling cult classics of the 1980’s and spawned the movie Mystery Men. Added features for this edition include new 10-page Flaming Carrot story, a forward by Dave Sim, the first appearance of three new superheroes, and a special surprise that will be found nowhere else! Also, this limited hardcover is Signed and numbered by Bob Burden… a must have for any serious enthusiast!
