It was one of the top-selling minis of the time, a proverbial big fish in a small pond. Ten issues were published between 1985 and 1990, and Eclipse Comics released a collection of the first six in 1988. Two more issues were published digitally in 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA combination slice-of-life character\/superhero study, Dishman is the story of Paul Mahler, a schoolteacher who—after years of washing radioactive Fiestaware—suddenly gains the power of instantly cleaning dishes and putting them away by telekinesis, and his attempts to launch a career as a costumed crimefighter. It’s the superhero comic for people who don’t like superheroes. And in true Canadian fashion, Dishman’s satirical absurdity comes from playing everything absolutely straight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MacLeod, John","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover (Adult Graphic Novels)","offer_id":53246435688672,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/large-7537896.jpg?v=1782574882","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/the-mundane-adventures-of-dishmanbooks","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
