Flaming Carrot Comics

Bob Burden's own creation for Aardvark-Vanaheim, Flaming Carrot Comics ran for four issues in the mid-1980s, introducing the delightfully oddball, carrot-headed vigilante who fights crime with a deadpan sense of the absurd. Burden wrote and drew every page, crafting a surreal, self-published world that felt like a loving parody of superhero tropes filtered through a B-movie sensibility. This series is a cornerstone of the early alternative-comics boom, showing how a single creator's singular vision could thrive outside the mainstream.
