another one that's f*ucking awesome. so many people have a weird definition of dumb

Yep, Jack Cole's art was meant to be funny and nutty on Plastic Man. From Plas' earliest adventures, it was a whimsical feature with sight gags galore. Plastic Man's tone was closer to the later Mad comics than any GA superhero character.

Not a dumb comic book cover, but a dumb mistake on a bust. Look at his left shoulder muscle. Notice how it just all disappears when it hits the black wing? Whoops!

this one's dumb.  A circus carny dude and some circus performers can take on the avengers.  I call BS.

What a terrible team of villains.

This is interesting:

X-Statix was the retitled book originally known as X-Force. It fell into the hands of Peter Milligan and Michael Allred as a somewhat less-than-serious look at some of Marvel's stranger superheroes. The book quickly became a way to satirize the celebrity culture running rampant across the planet while still taking the time to pull apart the superhero genre.

For the most part, it worked out rather well. Fans who knew what they were getting into appreciated the social commentary while not taking the material too seriously. The whole thing got a little off the rails when, in 2003, the book relaunched with a resurrected mutant-version of Princess Dianna who had passed only six years previously.

Not only did the cover feature Princess Di in a rather inappropriate pose on the cover, but the story was also titled, "Di Another Day," which really didn't go over well with people who were still mourning the loss of Diana.

Dang. Now I want a copy of the recall.

Wow, incredibly bad taste. It was mentioned in Entertainment Weekly. Did any of the original covers make in on the street?

Easy to sneak up from the side for that sucker punch.

They must have or people wouldn't have tweaked, right? I can find NONE on eBay so I really don't know. I want one, of course.

These same people who complain about bad taste go home and watch "Family Guy" I bet. What could be better than a zombie Princess Diana?

IMO, The "bad taste" lies in everyday "news reporting" highlighting Harry and his bride Meghan Prince Harry. I don't understand what's so fascinating about it. I have my own problems. Oh no. Rich, spoiled white people have to "endure" scrutiny? Boo-hoo. 1st world problems.

I dunno, man. Ever seen a group of carny's in the same spot? I cross to the other side of the fairgrounds. Ever fight a guy who bills himself as The Human Snail" because he has no legs and is a hunchback? I have. It isn't fun.

You think YellowJacket has it bad? Talk to a TIE fighter pilot sometime.

I don't even understand what's going on here. Batman and Robin are standing on Earth, how are they the first to die on the moon?

That is a cool cover though! I've never seen it before.....

I dont know what to think of the fact the red part of jokers inner eye is white instead of red, and for it to be so exaggerated

Kind of trippy and "sucks" you in

From the comic-because we all know planetariums are full of loot:

Also from that epic comic-DC has a "Dr Doom" too.  And some strange sound effects of Batgrl's slaps:
