X-Amount of Comics. This item is unavailable.X-Amount of Comics

Don Simpson, master of superhero parody (creator of Megaton Man and Splitting Image and original letterer, inker, and logo designer of 1963) brings to life the avatars of the Little Comics Group That Could in satirical form―as avatars of avatars. They’re all here: Cyclobster, Black Bug, Psychic Psquid, Dr. UG, Helldiver, Limber Lass, Moonrock, and more―and if you don’t recognize the names, you’ll dig the thinly-disguised archetypes! With cameos by the Big Bang Universe, refugees from In Pictopia, and even Megaton Man and friends!

Written, drawn and hand-lettered in an authentic Old School manner, X-Amount is just enough to satisfy! A comic for the ages that may finish off the Silver Age once and for all! For sophisticated readers.

Don Simpson is the author of the graphic novel Border Worlds as well as the comics series Megaton Man and Bizarre Heroes. Under the pseudonym Anton Drek, he created Wendy Whitebread and Forbidden Frankenstein. During the ‘80s and ‘90s, Simpson cartooned for almost every major and independent comic book publisher including Marvel, DC, Image, and Archie. X-Amount Of Comics marks his first work for Fantagraphics in slightly over 30 years. In 2003, he illustrated Al Franken’s bestselling Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right. In 2013, Simpson earned a PhD in art and architectural history from the University of Pittsburgh. In 2023, he finally paid off his student loans without any government forgiveness.
