Comics Buyer's Guide #577

"Swipe That Kirby" is a sharp, offbeat comic essay from 1984 that dives into the quirks of superhero naming with a focus on the character "Cutter," questions the absence of a lab in Peter Parker’s apartment, and muses on the stylistic choices of Archie artists—like their tendency to enlarge character heads. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Don Martinec, the piece blends casual observation with a playful nod to pop culture, including a quirky recommendation to see "The Good Humor Man" for its unexpected Captain Marvel references.
