I don't read Marvel much, but :salute: to Black Panther taking down the Klan. Did these issues sell well?

"Crimes by women". Their biggest crime? They're still wearing clothes! And we all know why it says "Crime never pays" at the bottom. Because Swag McAllister over there, the gangster so bad-ass he wears his gun over his coat instead of underneath it, ain't never paid a penny for p*ssy. :lupe:

That Sex Criminals ones isn't too bad. I wouldn't exactly know what it was about from the cover but I'm intrigued.

To your point though, I just loaded up my library today and it took a while to go past the covers. Preacher did them extremely well and was one of the reasons I got interested. I'm reading them now cause I've had them for months but never did. Tank Girl has quite a few good ones as well.

Decades ago artists realized that Superman simply running or flying was overdone. This has been forgotten or just plain disregarded.



Back when they had their heads out of their asses we had this.

So beaver hat is a Western Fighter doing what he does best, not only charging his mighty steed into the side of the bytch ass Indian horse and putting a perfectly aimed slug in the chest of Chief Donefukkedupnow, but doing this while trimming his beard on the Chief's spear throw like a man who has no fukks to give. :lupe:
