Heroes of the Black Lagoon #1

This 1989 German anthology from Zwerchfell brings together a colorful lineup of costumed heroes and villains on its cover, rendered in bold, energetic linework that immediately signals superhero parody at its most playful. The cover art packs in a crowd of outlandishly designed characters — including a caped figure, a hulking brute, and several others in full regalia — alongside the punning title "Grosse Pause" (Big Break), hinting at irreverent, humor-driven storytelling. At 9.80 DEM, it's a fun slice of late-'80s German independent comics culture that wears its love of the genre proudly.
