Superjerks 1 1

[BLUECHIPCOLLECTIBLES]

I don't know if these are niches in the collectors market, but if not they should be.  

Superheroes and/or their friends behaving like absolute d*cks. 

Superheroes breaking bad.  Women scheming to trap the super guy into marriage.  Friends and sidekicks betraying the hero, even murdering him/her while they cackle with evil delight, 

DC comics was the undisputed king of psychologically effed up comic covers in the 60s.  Every other issue seemed to have Superman laughing as he tortured Jimmy Olsen or Perry White.  Lois Lane tricking a very reluctant Superman into marriage;  And Superman triumphantly flaunting his rejection of her in the most hurtful ways. You have to wonder if the DC editors were seriously messed up, and/or were they trying to mess with the heads of pre-pubescent readers.

The Lois Lane title was the best for those! Here are some more excellent examples:

Doc Magnus being extra jerky as he frequently was to Tina...

[Jaylam]

Supes wipes out the entire JLA by himself and then gloats about it on this cover...

In foreign editions, Spidey murdered crooks, and cops.

[KirbyJack]

Honorable mention goes to 1970-80s Tony Stark, the biggest @$$-hat in comics.

I've always loved this cover. Superman being a Superdick.

[Jaylam]

Poor Supes, looks like he stepped in it this time,

As usual, I post a book from the wrong age

Hey! I learned everything I needed to know about women as a kid from reading "Superman" family comics!

I can't remember where I saw it, but it was pointed out to me that not only does this book look crazy at first glance, it just keeps getting crazier and crazier the longer you look at it.  Total gaze into the abyss stuff.

[Hepcat]

Yeah, Lois has swollen calves. I mean what's with that?

The Aquaman title was also full of out-of-character portrayals:

Plenty of World's Finest Comics have a lot of backstabbing and gloating going on; this one's got Supergirl and Batgirl getting the one up on the boys...

I lament the loss of the 'Superman is a D*ck' website which had hundreds of examples with wisecracking observations. The site was at superdickery.com but no longer exists. 'twas great!

You don't have to have super-powers to be a super-jerk.
