And speaking of licking, meet the man who can tell YOU how to lick pimples! Ewww! Man, even back in the day, comic book publishers were spot-on about the naturally poor hygiene of their socially doomed, cursed clientele.

ReplyDeleteVacutex is your Friend- maybe your only friend...
"Quick! You boys catch those police bullets while I hide the terrifying unkillable monster!"
ReplyDeleteIn the bottom two panels of page five, does it not seem like the yellow- and blue-suited henchmen are shot dead before being immediately captured alive? I guess they are also sustaining the life-giving radiation ray in their bloodstreams. Somebody's been drinking straight form father's radiation container again.
The glowing skeleton in the tree is some pretty priceless goony sci-fi. And doesn't the Purple Claw look very evil now that he's grown that creepy goatee?
You never saw any of my girlfriends from my teenage years. I licked a few pimples, you bet.
ReplyDeleteWEIRD HOW LANCE STROM DOESN'T EVEN SHOW UP UNTIL PAGE 4 OF THIS STORY, I ALMOST FORGOT WHAT I WAS READING UNTIL HE FINALLY POPPED IN. THESE ARE ALOT OF FUN THOUGH. DOES HE ALWAYS FIGHT ZARNO THOUGH?
ReplyDeleteCOUNTING THE DECAPITATION, EYE INJURY, AND INCEST.........I THINK THESE PIMPLE ADS ARE PROBABLY THE MOST DISTURBING THING YOU EVER POSTED HERE HA.

ReplyDelete"Even Cute Girls Become Careless." Maybe that's how Pappy got to lick a few zits. I well remember these ads, and wondering how many of these Vacuja... uh, VacuTEX things they were actually able to SELL. Let me share this with you: Here in NooYawk City we have a blackhead buster by the name of DR. ZIZMOR. He has ads all over the subway and is a local joke, unknown to the rest of the world. His name alone is bad enouth ("Zits-More," get it?) but compared to the man himself, the cartoon doctor in today's post is just LOADED with personality. You gotta meet him: http://gothamist.com/2004/05/06/

I've kissed alot of ass over the years, but I draw the line at licking pimples, Karswell.
ReplyDeleteGreat, fun stuff has been posted here lately. I've been by, but haven't had the time to check in.
(Thanks for the x-tras that you sent my way).
I agree with Prof. Grewbeard the "two headed" panel in page four's a real killer !
ReplyDeleteLance Storm could have made an incredible Saturday morning cartoon show ; too bad such an idea probably could have sound "too much" , back in the days ...
Thanks for sharing
Wild that somehow the daughter could easily tell the skeleton was her dad. Father ohhh!!

You know there is nothing hotter than that rogue white streak in the hair - Zarno has got it going on!
ReplyDeleteIf you think about it lance storm didn't do Jack squat other this issue other than tip over in a chair and karate kick that cord. The purple claw could kick hiss butt
