Toyfare: The Toy Magazine #41
In a delightfully absurd twist, Dr. Doom turns his attention from world domination to toy manufacturing after dissecting Pikachu, leading to the creation of Mego Pals—each with a surprisingly chaotic fate. When Hulk mistakenly eats Ant-Man during a misunderstanding, and Reed Richards sues Doom over a destroyed teddy bear, the mad scientist doubles down with Mego Pal cockfights and a mail-order scheme. Written by Pat McCallum, Tom Root, and Doug Goldstein, this wild satire blends superhero antics with the bizarre world of collectible toys, all wrapped in a cover by an unnamed artist.
