Flaming Carrot Comics

Bob Burden’s surreal superhero returned to Image Comics for a four-issue run in 2004–2005, written and drawn by the creator himself. The series follows the adventures of the Flaming Carrot, a deadpan crimefighter whose absurdist world—populated by talking fish, giant robots, and a mysterious burning headpiece—blends deadpan humor with slapstick action. A cult favorite, this short revival showcases Burden’s singular, offbeat vision that helped define the early independent comics scene.
