Wacky Productions Unlimited

Wacky Productions Unlimited is an American independent comics and music publisher, described in public records as an American comics and music publisher. It is the company behind the Native American superhero property Super Indian, whose official home is the website superindiancomics.com. The brand operates at the intersection of independent publishing, Indigenous storytelling and music, and is closely identified with its creator, the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma member Arigon Starr, who serves as writer, artist and driving creative force. The flagship property, Super Indian, centers on a Native American superhero. According to the publisher's own account, the original idea was conceived by Starr during a short train ride in Australia while she was part of an Indigenous Theater Workshop alongside Jean Bruce Scott, Randy Reinholz and Canadian playwright Drew Hayden Taylor. Starr has said she felt the Native community did not have enough comic book heroes and that most existing ones were not created or drawn by Native artists or writers. Back in Los Angeles, she developed the characters, and the concept was first realized as a radio script commissioned by Jean Bruce Scott and Randy Reinholz of Native Voices at the Autry and Shirley Sneve of the Native Radio Theater Project. The first ten-minute script was produced at the National Audio Theater Festival in West Plains, Missouri, and broadcast nationally on National Public Radio and the Native Voice One radio network. Beyond comics, the brand's Super Indian stories have been adapted into radio comedy and staged readings. In 2026 a staged reading of "The New Adventures of Super Indian/The Curse of Blud Kwan'Tum" was presented at the Newberry Library, and Dancing Pony Productions, The Goodman Theatre and the Gichigamiin Indigenous Nations Museum later selected "The Curse of Blue Kwan'Tum" to headline "The Sweetest Season," an annual Chicago event showcasing Indigenous creativity, with a staged reading in the Goodman Theatre complex. As a publisher, Wacky Productions Unlimited sells Super Indian books directly to readers and at conventions, and its creator appears at Indigenous pop-culture events such as the Indigenous Pop Expo at Duke University and SkasdiCon in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. The company remains a small, creator-led independent publisher rather than a large corporate house, and its identity is bound up with Native American representation in comics and popular culture.

Wacky Productions Unlimited is an American independent comics and music publisher, publicly described as an American comics and music publisher. Its best-known property is the Native American superhero series Super Indian, whose official website is superindiancomics.com. The company is closely tied to the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma member Arigon Starr, who is the creator, writer and artist of Super Indian and the central figure behind the brand. According to the publisher's own account, the idea for Super Indian originated on a short train ride from Brisbane, Australia to a local seaside resort. Starr was traveling with Jean Bruce Scott, Randy Reinholz and Canadian playwright Drew Hayden Taylor as part of an Indigenous Theater Workshop, sketching scenes and trading ideas. Starr conceived of a Native American superhero simply called "Super Indian," motivated by her view that the Native community did not have enough comic book heroes and that most existing ones were not created or drawn by Native artists or writers. After returning to Los Angeles, Starr developed concepts for the characters. In the meantime, Jean Bruce Scott and Randy Reinholz of Native Voices at the Autry and Shirley Sneve of the Native Radio Theater Project commissioned her to create a radio script featuring the new superhero. The first ten-minute script was produced at the National Audio Theater Festival in West Plains, Missouri, and broadcast nationally on National Public Radio, the Native Voice One radio network and other outlets. This radio origin helped establish Super Indian as a cross-media property spanning comics, audio drama and live performance. As a publisher, Wacky Productions Unlimited has built its catalog around Super Indian comics and related merchandise, selling books directly and at conventions. The brand's public presence is maintained through the Super Indian Comics website, which documents convention appearances, staged readings and other events. In March 2026 a staged reading of "The New Adventures of Super Indian/The Curse of Blud Kwan'Tum" was presented at the Newberry Library. Later, Dancing Pony Productions (producer Louis Vasseur), The Goodman Theatre and the Gichigamiin Indigenous Nations Museum selected "The Curse of Blue Kwan'Tum" to headline "The Sweetest Season," an annual daylong event showcasing Indigenous creativity in Chicago, culminating in a staged reading at 6:00pm in the Alice Theater space of the Goodman Theatre complex, directed by Kennedy Naseem. The company also participates in the Indigenous pop-culture circuit. Arigon Starr appeared at the Indigenous Pop Expo 2025 at Duke University, held November 14–16, 2025, signing Super Indian books at Booth #6, and at SkasdiCon 2025 in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, on November 8, 2025. Duke University's exhibit "American Indians Go Graphic" featured Native artists during the same period. These activities reflect the brand's positioning as a small, creator-led independent publisher focused on Native American representation in comics, music and performance.
