Arcade the Comics Revue #6
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Ain't It Nice" is a sharp, self-aware experiment in comics form, weaving together fragments of vintage Rex Morgan, M.D. strips with new text and visuals to challenge how stories are built on the page. Written by Art Spiegelman and Nicholas Dallis, with art by Spiegelman and Marvin Bradley, and inked by Spiegelman and Frank Edgington, the piece turns the medium inside out. The cover, a bold, hand-drawn design by Robert Crumb, captures the issue’s irreverent spirit in full.
In "Nervous Rex, the Malpractice Suite," Jo’s anxieties spiral into surreal chaos as a collage of vintage Rex Morgan, M.D. panels reassembles into a biting, off-kilter comedy of medical mishaps and misplaced panic. The story’s sharp, playful editing turns familiar strips into a dreamlike satire of patient-doctor dynamics, all rendered with a wry, self-aware twist.
