From DC Comics' Impact line, The Fly is based on the character created by legendary team Jack Kirby and Joe Simon. Paul teamed up with friends on most of the 17-issue run, inking Mike Parobeck's pencils on stories by writer Len Strazewski.
The Fly was a throwback to an earlier type of superhero comic book, especially at the time it was published in 1991. For the kid who always wanted to draw Spider-Man, this was close enough.
