Rip Off Comix #9
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Knock 'Em Dead" in Rip Off Comix #9 (1981) delivers another gloriously absurd chapter in the surreal saga of 996-347-1364, Wonder Wart-Hog, and the ever-chaotic Piltdown Pig. Written by Gilbert Shelton and Tony Bell, with art and inks by the duo, the story sees the bizarre time-traveling duo accidentally resurrected—thanks to a missing soul snatcher pistol—and sent back to a prehistoric moment they’re oddly tied to. The cover, penciled and inked by Shelton and Dave Sheridan, captures the madness in classic Rip Off Press style.
In "The Battle of the Titans Part 2: The Death of Wonder Wart-Hog," the absurd stakes of superhero satire reach new heights as 996-347-1364 returns to the future—only to realize he left behind his soul snatcher pistol. With Piltdown Pig now wielding it, the unlikely duo of Wonder Wart-Hog and Paranoid Punkpig are revived, setting off a time-warping twist that sends them back to Piltdown’s prehistoric origins.
In "Up Shit Creek," members of the John Lennon fan club rally in spontaneous grief after his death, only to find themselves in a chaotic, no-holds-barred clash with the more fervent members of the Elvis fan club. Written with sharp wit and a satirical edge, the story captures the absurdity of fandom turned riotous, all in just two pages.
