Awesome thread. No hulk spoofs or cover swipes?

Sorry, nope. I'll go dig around in my storage unit and try to find more of these types of comics, but I don't think I have any more of the parody type. I've got around six long-boxes of quite uncommon, (if not scarce) indy comics from the eighties & nineties. And I mean indy comics to the point of amateur, do-it-yourself publishers. (Not xeroxed, though.) Some really strange comics; probably never-before-seen by 99% of the people on these boards.

 

I'm going to try and group them into themes and post them up for sale here.

 

Stay tuned.
