Encyclopedia > Flaming Carrot

Flaming Carrot Comics is a surrealist comic book by Bob Burden between 1979 and 1993.


The title refers to the protagonist, The Flaming Carrot. The origins issue (issue 7) states that "having read 5,000 comics in a single sitting to win a bet, this poor man suffered brain damage and appeared directly thereafter as - the Flaming Carrot!". He wore a costume which consisted of a giant carrot mask, which was continually aflame. Also, he wore flippers on his feet. Most of his dialogue was disjointed, but sometimes thought provoking in a Zen Koan fashion.


The Flaming Carrot lived in Iron City, and adventured occasionally with a superhero group called Mystery Men. The story of this group was later made into a movie.
