Hero on a Stick

Hero on a Stick, a four-issue series from Big Baby Comics launched in 1999, follows a hapless hero whose superpower is being perpetually impaled on a stick—a wry, absurdist take on the superhero genre. Created by the publisher's stable of indie talents, the series blends slapstick humor with deadpan commentary on the nature of heroism. Its brief, self-contained run has earned a cult following for its singular, gloriously dumb premise.
