Lethargic Lad

A short-lived but fondly remembered eight-issue series from Lethargic Comics, Lethargic Lad (1998–1999) is a superhero parody built around a protagonist whose defining power is a profound lack of energy. Written and drawn primarily by Greg Hyland and Mike White, with additional art by Tara Tallan, the series gleefully skewers comic book tropes with a dry, self-deprecating humor that resonated with readers tired of grim-and-gritty heroes. Its charm lies in its low-stakes, character-driven gags and the affectionate absurdity of a hero who would rather nap than save the day.
