In honor of Movember, I have decided I should enlighten all of you to some of the greatest mustaches you can find in comic books!
Commissioner Gordon
First up, a classic in terms of ‘staches: The cop ‘stache.
This staple of the follicular world has been around as long as our boys in blue
have and makes cameo appearances in pornos now and then. The best example in
comics is nestled between Commissioner James Gordon’s nose and upper lip. You
can’t help but respect the law when you see this guy’s mustache. Whether it’s
in its youthful red edition or the wise looking grey, crime has to cease its
presence.
The Warriors Three
For spot number four I am going to cheat and use three
characters. But when you gaze upon these mustaches that can only be found in
the mythological and verdant Asgard you will understand why. All of these
spectacular ‘staches capture the essence of the character quite well. Hogun the
Grim sports a horseshow mustache that any Hell’s Angel would be proud of.
Fandral the Dashing obviously uses a lot of wax to achieve that Errol Flynn
look. Finally,Volstagg the Lion-Hearted. This man has the most unique
mustache in comics (not the best though). How does he get it to do that? I think it’s worth noting
that Jack Kirby drew a lot of mustaches like this, perhaps this is what his
looked like when it got away from him.
Omni-Man
Bam! Look at that mustache. Sure he tried to kill his son and
take over Earth, but look at the cookie duster! I could almost forgive him. It’s
just a powerful rectangle of masculinity. Is this where Viltrumites get their
power?
Dum-Dum Dugan
This may sound like hyperbole but it’s not, I wish Dum Dum
Dugan was my dad. Then I would have had a shot at being able to grow a lip
warmer like that. That’s a proud mustache. It’s just the right amount of fluffy
that it doesn’t need wax but solid enough it doesn’t look like an orange chick
got stuck on his face. If that guy came yelling at you from a trench in World War II you
wouldn’t even bother trying to shoot him, you would just surrender. It’s no
wonder the character has been around for 50 years, his mustache won’t let him
die.
J. Jonah Jameson
Can you feel your soul cracking? |
That is a Hitler mustache. Jameson rocks it like it’s a
Jameson mustache though. To put it into perspective, one of the most popular humans on
Earth, Michael Jordan, couldn’t steal that mustache away from Hitler. Yet there
stands Jameson, proud and unapologetic. Not only that but he is actually mayor
of New York City in the comics! Can you imagine if somebody ran for office looking
like that?! Shine on your crazy diamond, shine on.

I would have to add Sinestro to this list of awesome mustaches! :) I'm sure Tressa would agree. ;)
