SHOP FLORIDA MAN
In 2019, Mike Baron conceived of a series of tales featuring FLORIDA MAN, initially as a comicbook, but when he couldn’t find a comic publisher to take on the project, he shifted his focus to writing it as a prose novel. WOLFPACK PUBLISHING loved the concept and Mike has since delivered a series of critically acclaimed FLORIDA MAN novels under their publishing banner.
Mike was inspired by the 2016-17 internet memes wherein local Florida news reports were going viral, and always referring to a troublemaking “Florida Man” getting into some kind of bizarre trouble. Those wild stories were brought to life in FLORIDA MAN the graphic novel, which was Mike Baron’s first successful comicbook crowdfunding effort in 2020, and two years later was published as a limited series of comics by AMERICAN MYTHOLOGY, becoming their top selling book of 2022.
“Mike Baron has crafted a comic masterpiece… Unforgettable, colorful cast, sustained comedy gold on every page.” —Chuck Dixon
Florida Man comes to life in Florida Man comics, which tell the wild and hilarious adventures of Gary Duba, the quintessential ‘Florida Man,’ a larger than life figure hailing from the magical land of Florida, USA! Eisner-award winner Mike Baron presents riotously funny, heart-felt, uplifting tales of the quintessential Florida Man in a new series of comics inspired by his critically acclaimed Florida Man novels.
“Florida Man vs. Hogzilla is the f*cking ‘Spinal Tap’ of comic books. It takes the ambiguously wild concept that is ‘Florida Man’ and turns it up to eleven!” —Nickweiser
Following up on the success of the first volume of Florida Man, Mike successfully crowdfunded FLORIDA MAN vs HOGZILLA, with art by Matthew Weldon and Marcelo Salaza (who also worked on the first volume), and once again, American Mythology adapted it into another hit 3-issue limited series in the summer of 2024.
