Flaming Carrot Comics Fortune Favors The Bold

Summer nights, water-balloon fights, young girls in ragged cutoffs, a good band tonight on Carnival Island, and a walk along the great midway starts out this wild story of an impending alien invasion during Flaming Carrot's summer vacation in Smallville. Flaming Carrot leads a rebellion of the Trekkies and Dr. Whovians that were duped into helping the spacemen build their beachhead here on Earth. Plus, an all-new Flaming Carrot text story!

The Eisner award-winning, surreal superhero series, The Flaming Carrot, returns with a new omnibus collection! Before there ever was a Deadpool, Twin Peaks, or Lady Gaga; the Flaming Carrot's madcap madness, manic mayhem, and impish mischief exploded from the vanguard of the 80s' New Wave comic revolution, taking us right down the rabbit hole of creativity-gone-off-the-tracks, and over the rainbow. Propagating dreamlike surrealism, disturbing violence, sexual adventurism, bar-hopping, and a bizarre and nightmarish costume, the world's first postmodern super man battled Road Hogs From Outer Space, went on drinking binges with Death, bounced around on a nuclear powered pogo stick, and ordered some of that new Brussels sprout flavored ice cream that wasn't even on the menu yet. Check out a comic book series that for many years most people believed to be nothing more than a ridiculous legend or an amusing joke. Doctor recommended. Maximum strength formula. New hope for a nation suffocating in the swill of its own mediocrity. Collects Flaming Carrot #1-2, 4-11, 25-27.

The legendary, cult classic, runaway hit of the 1980s returns like Kaiser Sosse on the midnight tide! Before Madman and Bone, before Hate and Hellboy and Eightball (and before Ritalin), all fandom's avante garde lunatic fringe had to read was the Flaming Carrot. Long out of print, this buried treasure, this manic, zany, oddball title is coming back home just when the comic marketplace needs him the most!
