Who's That Mucking About Down Below?

As we noted yesterday, She-Hulk was well aware of her status as a comic book character (long before ol' Deadpool figured it out).

As long as you're in comics, might as well parody other comics, right? And so they did...










...and those bits are all from just one single issue!

Of course, she wasn't limited to just parodying comics...

Un-Teaser

I've come to the conclusion that we haven't run enough Un-Comics lately. (Un-Comics is what we call comics that come from sources other than comic books) Fortunately, we can do that and continue the teaser from the previous post.

Oh - before i forget, let's get this out of the way...


That'll answer questions that may arise further down the page.

So, anyway - this cool old paper i used to enjoy not only provided excellent posters, they also covered comics. In fact, occasionally the two overlapped, like with this centerfold poster -


Not only did they cover comics on a regular basis, they routinely ran their own short strips - usually two pagers. And they drew in some top talent along the way - note some of the names in the credits below - Brunner, Byrne, Starlin, and Wolfman, to name just a few...










So, the Kong pic at the top of page only kinda partially answers questions that might have arisen from the intro to The Sacrifice. Allow us to further elucidate...


Okay. I know Rip knows this old paper - how about the rest of you?
I promise - we'll actually name names next time.

comics by Dave Gibbons, John Byrne, Frank Brunner, Jim Starlin, Martin Pasko, Bruce Jones, Berni Wrightson, Greg Theakston, Marv Wolfman, David Izzo, Rich Buckler, John Simons, Steve Hickman, Gil Kane, Steve Ditko, Roacho Rizzo, Tom Armstrong, and Dez Skinn (1971ish)
