Welcome to Brain Damage Comics
Our way of honoring Benny Rose's family legacy and adding a bit of our own quirky spin to the world of comics.
ABOUT US
Brain Damage Comics is more than just a creative outlet.It's a tribute to a lifelong love of pop culture that started in a small comic shop back in Brooklyn NY. Growing up in the 80s, Benny Rose spent his childhood surrounded by comic books, video games, action figures, and all things wonderfully geeky, thanks to his parent’s store. What began as a childhood immersed in collecting and selling these treasures has come full circle—now we’re creating our own stories.¨Our mission is to bring you offbeat, memorable stories that you won’t find anywhere else. Here, you’ll get a taste of what we do and who we are.¨

Ace Bumpers: The Flamingo Man
"A neon-soaked detective comedy about Ace Bumpers, an ’80s action hero electro-blasted into the modern day, where his retro bravado collides with today’s petty crimes and absurd culture."Ace Bumpers, also known as The Flamingo Man, is a character born from the neon glow of the 1980s. He embodies the slick charm of a retro action hero—part Miami Vice, part Magnum P.I.—but with a twist: he doesn’t quite belong in the world around him. His flamboyant style, corny banter, and pastel-drenched swagger make him stand out in a modern setting, almost like he’s coated in the static haze of a CRT television.He’s a Bird out of time.For fans ofAdult humor like Paradise PD
