Are you tired of super heroes always wearing gross tights and tacky capes? Maybe it’s time you read about a hero who wears nothing at all. Meet The Streaker!
Faster than your average Caucasian, but slower than a African American, in the dark he glows to the touch he burns, if you see him keep eye contact, and don’t look down, for he is the butt naked hero known as . . . The Streaker!
Just another superhero here to save the world. Unfortunately for villains and citizens in need, he’s doing it without pants on. Not by choice though: he’s not one of those weirdos and he’s definitely not trying to make a statement. Nope, he’s just another man fallen victim to the incredibly cool incredibly fake side effects of radiation exposure. Now his skin burns everything he touches, his clothes burn off, he’s forced to be naked, and he glows in the dark.
However, that doesn’t mean he has to be a hero… does it? He can have a normal life, can’t he? Don’t ask me- I’m just the writer. Why don’t you read some issues and find out.

Meet The Streaker! After being exposed to radiation, a man finds himself with radioactive skin which burns everything he touches . . . including his clothes! These new powers make it impossible for him to keep the quiet normal life he has grown accustomed to. With no other choice he decides to go to the one place he could possibly fit in, a nudist colony. Will they let him live there? Will they give him a job? Does our hero glow in the dark? And more importantly, what’s an extremist nudist? If you long for the answers to these questions, stop wasting time and start reading.

I’m sure you would have preferred never reading Issue 2, but that’s why issue 1 ended on a cliffhanger. Haha! Now you have no choice. You know it will drive you crazy if you don’t. Will The Streaker stop the bomb and save the nudist colony from utter destruction? He just might, and after that he may even try his hand at crime fighting… whether he wants to or not. What are you waiting for? It’s time for some good old fashioned naked crime fighting. What could possibly go wrong?

Watch in utter shock as a disgruntled Streaker attempts to rob a bank. Unfortunately for our hero, he’s not the only one with that plan. Who’s behind the melting wall? Could it really be our first super villain? I hope he tells us his origin, and what the hell is he wearing?!

His method was slightly unorthodox, but The Streaker has officially busted his first Super Villain. But where do you go from there? Television of course! Or at least that’s what Earl thinks . . .
In an attempt to drum up some publicity, The Streaker finds himself talked into appearing on a popular new porn trivia game show. And with the help of someone from his past he might even win, but is winning all it’s cracked up to be? And is there something a little off about the shows charismatic host? A would I mention it if there wasn’t?

An asteroid is heading straight for the Earth and it looks like The Streaker is our last hope! So yeah Earth is screwed . . .
Or maybe not because there is also a second story about a killer that targets nice people. Which is guest illustrated by Jillian Dolan, who happens to be a nice person as well. What a coincidence.
Also, this issue features the illustrated deaths of Jodi Colpitts and Sharon Colpitts. Two amazing people that helped kickstart the first issue of The Streaker. Yes they are related to the writer.
