Button 123: Megaton Man On Patrol! (# 2 of 6 in Don Simpson's MM series)

123. Megaton Man On Patrol! (1984).

Silhouette of musclebound Megaton Man flying proudly above the clouds. Created by cartoonist Don Simpson, the first issue of MM was a surprise hit: literally an overnight sell-out. Kitchen Sink Press publisher Denis Kitchen, who had assiduously avoided publishing superhero comics, found his biggest hit in years was a comic parodying other superheroes, such as Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four. Ten color issues were produced, along with a number of black & white comics before Simpson turned his attention to Border Worlds and erotica.

One note, for serious button collectors, you may want to read the KSP BUTTON TEXT which explains the numbering systems for identifying the various buttons produced over the last 30 years, or see the COMPLETE KSP BUTTON LIST. The list is VERY long, so be patient while it loads.
