Geeksville #2

Geeksville #2 (Image, 2000) wears its self-awareness like a badly fitting gorilla suit — and that's exactly the joke. The cover, by Rich Koslowski, features a bespectacled, blond character standing in an unzipped purple gorilla costume, holding the detached gorilla head, with a speech bubble cheerfully admitting the whole thing is a sales gimmick. It's a knowing wink at comics marketing conventions that sets the tone perfectly for a series built on humor, and with "Breaking Into The Biz! Part Two: How Much?!" on the docket, there's clearly more sharp, industry-savvy comedy waiting inside.
