122. Megaton Man! [Flying
Pose] (1984).
Don Simpson's color
comic book parodying silver age Marvel comics was a big hit for
Kitchen Sink Press from 1984 till about 1986. The 22-year-old
cartoonist moved to an apartment carved out of KSP's Princeton
WI "barn" headquarters, joined the fearsome Sinkers
softball team (see the trading cards elsewhere on this site)
and proved to be a prolific and popular satirist till his attention
wandered elsewhere. His initial parody targeted the venerable
Fantastic Four. Reed Richards the Elongated
Man; Human Torch; Invisible Girl and The Thing became
Liquid Man, Human Melt-Down, See-Thru Girl (she turned
naked to distract opponents) and Yarn Man. A set of six
collectible Megaton Man buttons was produced in 1984,
of which this design is the first. "Megs" was an imbecile
with magnificent muscles, and none too graceful, as this "flying"
pose suggests. (See also buttons #123-127). 2.25 inches in diameter.
$4.00
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.
