Fred Hembeck Destroys the Marvel Universe #1

Jul 1989 · Marvel · 1.50 USD; 2.00 CAD; 0.50 GBP
“Fred Hembeck Destroys The Marvel Universe”

In "Fred Hembeck Destroys The Marvel Universe," the legendary cartoonist Fred Hembeck takes a meta spin with a story within a story, imagining a tale he wrote where Crackers, Crown Prince of Death, is given a mission to erase every hero and villain across the Marvel Universe. With Hembeck handling both writing and art—joined by Vince Colletta on inks and Steve Mellor and Gregory Wright on colors—the issue blends self-aware humor with a surreal, over-the-top premise, all wrapped in a cover by Hembeck and Colletta.
