Deadpool #41

Deadpool strikes a swaggering pose against a cosmic backdrop in this 2000 Marvel romp, surrounded by a bevy of green-skinned alien women whose more scandalous moments are helpfully blacked out with "CENSORED" boxes. The cover gleefully promises "a space bonanza filled with pirates, aliens, prisons, and mysterious figures" under the banner of "Operation Dirty Wolff," and with cover pencils by Mike Lopez and inks by John Livesay, the whole thing radiates the kind of gleeful, self-aware absurdity that makes Deadpool such a distinctive corner of the Marvel universe. Writer Christopher Priest and artist Paco Diaz deliver the interior story "Frag!" — and if the cover is any indication, things are delightfully out of hand.
