Marvel Famous Cover
The Long Road to Flex Mentallo (Metafilter)
In February, DC Comics imprint Vertigo will finally reprint Flex Mentallo by
Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely. Vertigo unveiled a new piece of artwork by
Quitely that will serve as the cover to the new deluxe edition. Long regarded
as one of the finest superhero comics ever published, heavily annotated
online, and subject of much study, the work has been out of print since its
initial publication in 1996 due to a lawsuit with bodybuilder Charles Atlas’s
company. Atlas claimed that the title character infringed on his image, but DC
successfully argued that Flex Mentallo’s origin was a parody of Atlas’s famous
print ad, “The Insult That Made a Man Out of Mac”. Despite its victory, DC had
decided not to reprint the book and original issues of it often go for $30 or
more each on eBay, though most who’ve read it at this point have done so via
scanned copies from BitTorrent. When the new deluxe edition is finally
published in February, it will leave Alan Moore’s Marvelman/Miracleman as one
of the last great superhero stories still waiting to be reprinted (though
Marvel is clearly working on that, too).
