Art: The Adventures of Billionaireman.

Man in a tuxedo wearing a money-sack over his head sits in a plush chair, raising his right hand toward the ceiling with the index finger pointed up. He holds out a wad of cash in the left hand. Speech bubble says, “I’ll pay whatever you want! Just QUIT taxing me!” The glass on the door to the left reads “AUDITS” backwards. Title above reads “The Adventures Of Billionaireman” in a typeface similar to that on US currency.

That thing on his head is supposed to be a money sack.

Mild-mannered Bill Pockett was bitten by a radioactive billionaire during a trip to the bank to see about a second mortgage and was transformed into… Billionaireman!

See his daring adventures to turn a profit against the invisible hand of capitalism! Watch him do battle against his great nemesis, the Internal Revenue Service (through his army of contractor robot accountants).

You can’t afford to miss the Adventures of Billionaireman!


There are already a few billionaire superheroes, but this is a non-billionaire that’s turned into a billionaire superhero. I mean, superhero comic stories never have that much logic behind them. Superman could do so much more building low-cost housing or satellite launches or whatever, but he’s focused on the acute crimes he fights.

I didn’t decorate the office too much. I wanted to make it more like an interrogation room, but I figured he’d bring along his own plush chair, so I kept it simple. Again, superhero art doesn’t have to make much sense. Neither does billionaire logic, for that matter. When you’re a billionaire, apparently 2+2 can equal whatever you write on the check.
