Son O’ God Comics

From Flashback.


IN 1972, National Lampoon magazine introduced the super hero Son O’ God, created by Michel Choquette, Sean Kelly and Neal Adams

Son ‘O God who turned from nebbishy Jewish New Yorker Benny David – 30-years-old; living with controlling parents; no aptitude for any sport – who turns into a WASP wonderman on a mission to tackle Catholicism, the Antichrist Pope and “the scourge of Islam”.


Both Sean Kelly and Neal Adams have died in the last few years but Michel Choquette, at 85, is still very active in his native Montreal.

His Someday Funnies , a collection of comic strips drawn in the early seventies and featuring that decade,, was published by Abrams in late 2011.

The book features work by Sergio Aragones, Gahan Wilson, R.O. Blechman, Don Martin and Ralph Steadman.
