The legendary, cult classic, runaway hit of the 1980s returns like Kaiser Sosse on the midnight tide!

Before Madman and Bone, before Hate and Hellboy and Eightball (and before Ritalin), all fandom's avante garde lunatic fringe had to read was the Flaming Carrot. Long out of print, this buried treasure, this manic, zany, oddball title is coming back home just when the comic marketplace needs him the most!
