Plop! #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeDC's self-proclaimed "New Magazine of Weird Humor" delivers another gleefully grotesque installment with Plop! #5, cover-dated June 1974. Basil Wolverton's cover art introduces "Nails" Nittle — a rubbery, grinning pink creature cheerfully working on a pair of enormous, overgrown toenails — and the accompanying bio describing him as a "free-lance bunion excavator" sets the tone perfectly for the absurdist comedy inside. With interior work by Bernie Wrightson and writing from Ed Noonchester and George Kashdan, this 20-cent issue promises a wonderfully strange read.

In 1850 Paris, Pierre Gouny, a sculptor, secretly discovers how to make statues come alive. His wife Clothilde, though, wants him to concentrate only on gargoyle statues that bring in the money. Exasperated, the sculptor makes a statue of a woman, so as to escape with her. His wife destroys it prompting him to murder and conceal her, ironically, inside a gargoyle statue which then comes alive making Pierre himself part of a sculpture.
