Gnatrat: The Movie #1

"Gnatrat: The Movie" #1 (1990) delivers a delightfully absurd take on the 1989 Batman film frenzy, starring the absurdly named Gnatrat—a character who started as a Batman parody but quickly evolved into his own brand of chaotic comedy. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered entirely by Mark Martin, the issue blends satirical jabs at superhero hype with the kind of over-the-top visuals that make it a standout in Innovation’s quirky 1990 lineup. The cover, also by Mark Martin, captures the manic energy of the whole affair in bold, exaggerated lines.
