![]() There’s Brat Pack, a filthy story about teen sidekicks gone wrong and the abusive heroes who watch over them (including one particularly repugnant gay stereotype / Batman stand-in named the Mink). Perhaps most notably, he’s put out a number of comics breaking down the very notion of the superhero. ![]() He’s done The Big Lie, a comic positing that the destruction of the World Trade Center on 9/11 was an inside job. He’s done abrasive satire like the War on Terror–lampooning He’s done trippy dream-journal comics like Roarin’ Rick’s Rare Bit Fiends. He’s done avant-garde fantasy like Swamp Thing (a series for which he crafted a story in which the title character would have met Jesus Christ, only to have it be pulled due to sensitivity concerns). He’s done straightforward superhero fare like Aquaman. He’s done perverse underground comix like his self-published Two-Fisted Zombies. In his nearly 50 years in the business, the 66-year-old writer/artist has put out incredible work across a dizzying array of genres. No one in comics has had a career as unpredictable as Rick Veitch’s. ![]()
