Deadpool #38

Deadpool #38 plays up the Merc with a Mouth's unlikely sex-symbol status with a cover that shows a red-masked, gun-toting Wade Wilson swarmed by a crowd of swooning, shrieking admirers — speech bubbles declaring "Kiss me!" and "He's sooooo sexy!" adding to the gleeful absurdity. The cover art by Paco Diaz and Jon Holdredge captures pure comedic chaos, with hands grabbing at Deadpool from every direction while he seems equal parts bewildered and pleased with himself. With Christopher Priest scripting under the story title "Johnny Handsome Scene One," this 2000 Marvel issue promises the sharp wit and offbeat energy that made this run a fan favorite.
