Maniacal Smile
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maniacal Smile is a comic book written and drawn by Rob Rhine, printed by small independent comic book company Panda Monium Press. It was formerly published alone by its creator, and later by Wet Ink Studios.
The book focuses on the life of Alex McClendon, who gains super powers after using an experimental drug. Donning a liquid-type hero suit, he uses his gained strength and his "infinite intestinal justice" (derived from the alter egos Irritable Bowel Syndrome to help clean up his town of Utopia).
His other powers are unclear, although with the use of the suit is able to fly around on a "poo cloud" giving him flight.
The book is noted for its eccentric humor and odd enemies such as a giant talking condom, evil psycho monkeys and cross-dressing pumpkins.
In July 2006, Rob Rhine announced the creation of Panda Monium Press along with three other comic book creators in the Tampa Bay area. The Maniacal Smile, although remaining mostly the same, will start with a new number 1 issue and a new origin.
