Hey,
This has to do with all comics but since the first one's I saw were Marvel I thought it should go here. Does anyone know of any other "silent comics" in the mold of the "'Nuff Said" series? eg. Punisher v4 #7.
Cheers for any help.

There was a GI joe one that you should be able to turn up with a little effort, but I'm not sure if that one was a mistake or not.

The story behind that is that Larry Hama was late with the script, so the editor ran it without words. That's the story, anyways.

The issue in question G.I. Joe #21. According the Comic Book Urban Legends page, it was not a mistake but occurred because Larry Hama was running behind schedule, having to not only write but draw the issue. He had been wanting to do a silent issue as an experiment, so he took this opportunity to do so. Check out the details here:

He wrote a similar story for G.I. Joe Yearbook #3 that contained no dialogue, only sound effects.

Buy any comic written by Daniel Way. Heh, not silent, but pretty close.
Peace.

I'd rather gnaw my eyes out than read an issue of Wolverine: Origins.

I've actually got GI Joe 21 but thanks anyway.

Anyone know of any others?
