Cheeky Humor: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN & THE INCREDIBLE HULK TOILET PAPER!

[Scott Shaw!]

My ODDBALL COMICS column on THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN & THE INCREDIBLE HULK TOILET PAPER is now viewable. It's must reading for any fan of Marvel Comics and/or toilet paper:

ODDBALL COMIC #1,237 -- MONDAY, AUGUST 11, 2008 -- Talk about a wipe-out! “Presenting an all-new, action-packed confrontation between Marvel's mightiest super-stars!” Yes, it's THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN & THE INCREDIBLE HULK in an original, never-before-reprinted-anywhere comic book story drawn by the great Marie Severin, who Roy Thomas calls “one of the most underrated people in the history of comics”! So what's so !?#%?!! ODDBALL about that? Well, there is the fact that “The Gamma Gambit!” is printed on special 2-ply novelty TOILET PAPER! (Uhh, does Smilin' Stan Lee know about this week's outrageously ODDBALL COMIC?)

Aloha,

Scott!

That's okay, I found some copies of "One More Day."

(Okay, okay -- too easy, but I couldn't resist the setup!)

Clearly, Marvel thought they were flushed with success!

Those hopes went down the drain.

I oughtta mention that while the storyline of this toilet paper comic is, by necessity, serviceable at best, Marie's artwork looks every bit as great as any that she'd draw for a mainstream Marvel comic, rather than the hack work one would expect to see printed on toilet paper! Plus, she inked it herself! Marie's one of my all-time favorite cartoonists, on the page and in real life. (ODDBALL COMICS represents this entire story, which, to my knowledge, has never been reprinted.)

Aloha,

Scott!

Serviceable IN WHAT WAY, Mr. Shaw? :eek: :redface: :biggrin:
