Don Simpson (cartoonist)

Don Simpson is an American alternative cartoonist, best known for his darkly humorous and often controversial comic book series Megaton Man. Simpson's work often features satire, parody, and absurdist humor, frequently skewering superhero tropes and broader aspects of pop culture.

Megaton Man, originally published in the mid-1980s by Kitchen Sink Press, presented a distorted and often unflattering take on the superhero genre, characterized by its crude artwork and deliberately offensive content. The character of Megaton Man himself is a flawed and often unlikeable figure, a far cry from the idealized heroes typically found in mainstream comics.

Beyond Megaton Man, Simpson has also produced other comics and illustrations, often characterized by their distinctive visual style and provocative themes. His work has been included in various anthologies and publications within the alternative comics scene. Although not a mainstream figure, Simpson holds a significant position within the history of independent and underground comics due to his unique approach to satire and superhero deconstruction.
