For the first time in a decade, Garbage Man is returning to print. Garbage Man by Aaron Lopresti (Ms. Marvel), Matt Ryan (Justice League), John Kalisz (Basketful of Heads), Dave McCaig (American Vampire), Jared K. Fletcher (Paper Girls), and Warren Montgomery (Adventure Time Comics) will be released as a trade paperback by Dark Horse Comics on November 10th, 2021.
Toxic Revenger
Garbage Man tells the story of an attorney named Richard Morse who discovers that a certain pharmaceutical company has been breaking the law… only to be kidnapped and subjected to experimentation. But while his body ends up being destroyed by a laboratory explosion, what’s left of him combines with the dirt and creates the vengeance-fueled eco-hero (or is that eco-monster), Garbage Man.
The TPB will collect the Garbage Man stories that appeared in Weird Worlds #1 – 6, as well as the Garbage Man stories from My Greatest Adventure #1 – 6. And according to a Tweet from Lopresti on Twitter, that’s not all you can look forward to…
20 pages of new/revised material. Introduction of a new super team. It may be the ultimate TPB. Order through comic shops or amazon.

Ambitious lawyer, Richard Morse, uncovers the illegal operations of a pharmaceutical giant and is abducted and experimented on by the Corporation’s scientists.
