20 Nude Dancers 20 #[1]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis posterbook collects Mark Martin's early work from the first year of his surreal, self-published series 20 Nude Dancers 20, originally released in 1990 through Tundra Publishing as part of their Mighty Pumpkin imprint. It features a compilation of Martin's distinctive, cartoonish art and offbeat humor from the comic's initial run.
"Quiet! Can't You See I'm Reading?" is a self-aware, meta comic from 1990 that parodies the format of a Comic Buyer's Guide, complete with a mock article titled "Forgotten Oddities of the Recent Past" and a fake color comic page titled "Retentive Man in 'Mine Enemy, Mine Mommy!' by Claude Orr." Written, drawn, inked, colored, and lettered by Mark Martin, the issue showcases his singular creative hand across every aspect of the work, with cover art also by him.
A parody of a Comic Buyer's Guide page, "World of Barbie!" from 20 Nude Dancers 20 #1 (1990) blends fake reviews and short gag strips in a playful, satirical take on comic culture, all centered around the iconic doll in absurd, over-the-top scenarios. The humor leans into the format itself, with typeset letters and mock editorial commentary adding to the joke.
A mock Comic Buyer's Guide page spins a wry tale of forgotten pop culture curiosities, spotlighting the bizarre and overlooked. Amid the satire, a single color comic strip titled "Retentive Man in 'Mine Enemy, Mine Mommy!'" by Claude Orr offers a surreal glimpse into a strangely specific memory.
