Comics Buyer's Guide #578

In a 1984 issue of Comics Buyer's Guide, writer-artist John Speidel crafts a playful, self-contained moment where Steppinwolf, spurred by a bet at a comics shop, sketches a barbarian from his imagination—only to surprise everyone with a depiction that defies every cliché. A rare solo moment from Speidel, both in writing and art, this issue captures the quirky spirit of comic fandom with a single, sharp line of humor.
