Flex Mentallo: Man of Muscle Mystery Review: A Fantastic meditation on comics, ideas, and life itself! - First off it should be said that this book is not for everyone. It's an incredibly deep book and demands several readings. If you accept that and are okay with this then you are in for a real treat with this book. It's a fantastic story centered around golden age hero Flex Mentallo and his search for his former partner The Fact. His search takes him through all periods of comic history, from the golden age all the way to what Grant Morrison believes to be the new Renaissance of superheroes. At the same time we meet a down on his luck rock star (who looks oddly a bit like Grant Morrison with long hair) who's about to end it all. As we come to find out this rock star is more important than he believed. Part of what makes this story so good is the the subtext to everything that happens. It tackles growing up, finding worth in life, the grand ideals of superheroes. Every reading reveals more layers. This book looks fantastic in both it's presentation and it's artwork. This is Frank Quitley at the top of his game, rivaled only by his work on All Star Superman. If you're a fan of the creative duo of Morrison and Quitley or you're just looking for a smart comic read definitely give this book a try you won't regret it. Review: Flex Mentallo - THE DELUXE EDITION HC (2012) - This review will focus on the edition of the book itself rather than the work of Grant Morrison & Frank Quitely, you can find many great reviews about the story itself right here in desertcart. I'll just say that both artists shine so much in this volume that you will suffer of temporarily blindness after reading it, only to then gain a 4th dimensional vision of what Super-Heroes and Ideas are about. Fortunately, this book is quite a "Deluxe" edition, as DC/Vertigo applied the Fables Deluxe series standard of quality: - The paper stock is glossy and heavy weight and the printing quality is great. - The book features a full-color printed hardback under the dustjacket (unlike the rest of DC/Vertigo HCs that have just a shamelessly dark grey presentation. That's right, dark grey, not even true black). - It's a solid glued binding book. Of course I would have liked a sewn one, but given that this is a slim volume and there's almost no gutter loss, I can totally live with the glued binding. Other good things to consider: - The dustjacket features a new illustration by Frank Quitely, really beautiful. - The original comics were re-coloured for the ocasion. I'm usually against re-colouring, but in this case I'm happy with the results. The original comics were presented in a typical mid-nineties digital colouring fashion that hasn't aged that well. The new colouring is a great enhancement that respects the original intent, but with a much better use of the tools. - We get a 14-pages section of extras at the end of the book, with sketches and original artwork by Quitely. - We also get a 4-pages prologue which was previously featured in issues #2 and #4 of the original series as a 2-part article section. - Finally, the overall design of the book is quite nice and eye-catching. This is a great opportunity to get this series, it was out of print for legal issues for about 15 years and was nearly impossible to get due to the insane bidding prices. Get this book, OWN IT, because this is the kind of work that you will read once and again and again and again, and then again and again. That's just how multilayered this book is! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,398,439 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #9,105 in Superhero Comics & Graphic Novels | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (359) | | Dimensions | 6.62 x 0.23 x 10.12 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1401247024 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1401247027 | | Item Weight | 8 ounces | | Language | English | | Part of Series | Flex Mentallo | | Print length | 128 pages | | Publication date | May 6, 2014 | | Publisher | Vertigo | ## Images ![Flex Mentallo: Man of Muscle Mystery - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1XvkqePIFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fantastic meditation on comics, ideas, and life itself! *by D***Z on October 17, 2013* First off it should be said that this book is not for everyone.

This is a love letter to comic books with a critique of the Gen-X nihilistic attitudes that were worn on sleeves like badges of honor. Deeply personal to Morrison and clever. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/16178416-flex-mentallo-man-of-muscle-mystery](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/16178416-flex-mentallo-man-of-muscle-mystery) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-06*
