AUUUUUUUUUUUGGGHHHHHHH!

May I never relive the 90s again.

I don't know who drew the cover of Femforce #131, but thanks for haunting my nightmares forever.

Thanks to you too, rcs.

Not Even Remotely Timely

I was originally going to put this up around Christmas, but I received plenty of more suitable pics.

Leave it to Rob Liefeld's comic company to manage to make Santa a musclebound, knife-wielding, pouch-bedecked psychopath. But wait...

Is that Hitler in the pile?


Eh, close enough.

This tastelessness appeared in Santa the Barbarian #1, and was actually drawn by Dan Fraga (who is, I suppose a step up, artwise from his crosshatch-prone employer). I actually hadn't heard of this comic until recently, since I pretty much stopped reading comics for a decade when they all started looking like this.

And no, Virginia. To the best of my knowledge, there has been no Santa the Barbarian #2.

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM HGP!

The 1990s Have a Lot of 'Splainin' To Do

All I can say is...

...THE HELL?!?

Here's a bit of an explanation.

Insanity from Superman At Earth's End by Tom Veitch and Frank Gomez.

Thanks...I guess... to Olaf.

The Great Question of the Ages

Marvel Comics has never been afraid to ask the tough questions, questions like:

• What if exposure to radiation didn't lead to hair loss, thyroid damage, reduced lymphocyte count, nausea, diarrhea, sterility, cancer, and/or death, but rather made people into giant green rampaging monsters or wisecracking acrobats able to stick to walls?
• Could a short, hairy Canadian with a history of violent behavior become a Hollywood sex symbol?
• Is there anything more ass-kicking than this cover?¹
  

And in the fall of 1991, they answered the question on all of our minds:

Well, other than it being vaguely homoerotic, it turns out the answer is:

Hitler gets shot, y'all.

The 90s were, of course, a darker time. Punching was apparently not gritty enough.

Alternate timeline Hitler gets a hot lead injection in What if..? (volume II) #28, written by George Caragonne, with pencils by Ron Wilson and inks by Ralph Cabrera.

Olaf found this, which I believe makes him an honorary U.S. citizen by now, whether he likes it or not.²

1. Probably not.
2. Probably not much, though it does mean he's closer to Elvis.
