Son of Ambush Bug #4

Oct 1986 · DC · 0.75 USD; 1.00 CAD; 0.40 GBP
“Mind-Slaves of the Caption King!”

In "Mind-Slaves of the Caption King!", Keith Giffen and Robert Loren Fleming deliver another delightfully absurd chapter of *Son of Ambush Bug*, where the Interferer’s chaotic meddling keeps derailing Ambush Bug’s story with gleeful disregard for continuity. Argh!yle’s revenge plot, centered on a suspiciously familiar Superman boot, hits a snag when legal trouble rears its head — all while the real danger might be lurking in the captions themselves. Keith Giffen’s wild visuals, polished by Bob Oksner’s inks and Anthony Tollin’s bold colors, make this 1986 comic a must-have for fans of surreal, fourth-wall-breaking humor.
