Plop! #8

DC's self-proclaimed "Magazine of Weird Humor" delivers another gloriously grotesque treat with this 1974 issue, featuring a Basil Wolverton cover that is pure, unfiltered Wolverton: a bulbous, warty, bug-eyed creature proudly displaying an oversized navel fitted — according to the cover caption — with a 100-inch Mt. Wilson Observatory lens, identifying him as one "Billy Buttin, the man with the world's most celebrated navel." The surrounding blue border is packed with a crowd of equally strange faces, framing the central monstrosity in a sea of delightful weirdness. Inside, Ramona Fradon brings her own distinctive touch to the stories within, making this a genuinely fun snapshot of one of DC's most delightfully offbeat anthology titles.
