PUBLISHER-Image Comics
After having heard of normalman for years I broke down and ordered this trade. That claims to contain every appearance of normalman.
In 12 issues plus an annual Jim Valentino managed to homage and parody pretty much every genre and trope of comic books.And Jim does a damn good job at this. The art looks nothing like his later stuff. It has a kind of Fred Hembeck cartoony style that I prefer to Valentino's later stuff on Guardians of the Galaxy or Shadowhawk.
The scattered one shots and cameos normalman did after his series ended are not as good as the ongoing series was. But at least Jim was at least doing something with the characters.
I am guessing that not only didn't the normalman series not sell that well,but this trade also didn't sell well. That I am basing on how easy it is to find it brand new online for 5 bucks plus shipping.
So if you can handle the beloved genre of superhero comics being parodied grab a copy of this trade.
The Complete normalman gets a BUY!
