The Comic Book Makers #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection gathers material from the 1990 series The Comic Book Makers, originally published by Crestwood/II Publications. It offers a behind-the-scenes look at the comic book industry, focusing on the creators and processes involved in producing comics during that era.
In "The Laughing Hyena," a satirical editorial page from The Comic Book Makers #nn (1990), the absurd claim that Communists are undermining the comic industry is laid out with deadpan irony, citing the Soviet Daily Worker and Dr. Frederick Wertham as key figures in a supposed conspiracy. Written by Lyle Stuart and Bill Gaines, with art by Jack Davis and inks by Jack Davis, the piece uses exaggerated rhetoric and mock-serious tone to skewer censorship fears, all rendered in Davis’s signature grotesque style.
