“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.
