About this Collection

This collection presents the first issue of Epic Lite: King of Jeers, a satirical spin-off from Marvel's Epic line. Volume 1 kicks off a lighthearted, comedic take on superhero tropes, featuring the misadventures of a boastful, mock-heroic character. Released in 1991, this issue sets the stage for the series' parody-driven storytelling within the Marvel universe.
