This comic was a giveaway at the Bongo Comics booth at the 2010 San Diego Comic Con and contains four original stories featuring Delivery-Boy Man.
The Origin of Delivery-Boy Man
It tells the origin of Delivery-Boy Man and how he came to Erth from a distant planet that was about to explode, how he was raised by poor farmers who took this alien baby in and raised him as their own, and how this baby then saw his parents gunned down in front of his very own eyes. He then became a rich scientist and was bitten by a huge radioactive spider which caused him to grow mutant claws, which allowed him to open packages to reveal a secret identity which would allow him to fight for justice.
The second and third installments are entitled:
Delivery-Boy Man vs. Invader X, Part One!
Delivery-Boy Man vs. Invader X, the Ending Part!
Both stories reveal Delivery-Boy Man's initial foray in to crime fighting as he battles Invader X who has kidnapped Leelis Lane. With the help of his faithful sidekick Boxer, the Robot, Delivery-Boy Man is able to thwart Invader X, save Leelis Lane and make the deliveries!!
The last is a one pager entitled:
Delivery-Boy Man Meets Sergio Aragones' Moustache
I guess the title says it all. Delivery-Boy Man delivers the moustache of Sergio Aragones to Sergio Aragones and all is right with the world again.
This is the type of stuff I would love to see them continue to do. A one off comic that is quick and simple, plays off of an episode of the show and is something for fans that can enjoy it. As this was a giveaway I think it would be great if they reprinted it at some point in either a future issue of the comic or as part of one of the trades as an incentive to pick up new material.
As an added bonus we also get cool and fun advertisements of products available F-Ray specs, real vomit, Zapp Brannigan action figure and the opportunity to join the official Delivery-Boy Man fan club. If that wasn't enough there is a special pin-up of our favorite hero included as well. All for free. I'd buy that for a dollar! But since it was free I wouldn't pay money for it.
