Failed Universe

Cliff MacGillivray and David Cody Weiss crafted a single-issue satire for Blackthorne in 1986, skewering the superhero genre by imagining a universe where every would-be hero is a spectacular failure. This comic matters as a sharp, self-aware parody that predates the deconstructive wave of the late 1980s, offering a cynical yet playful take on comic tropes. A cult oddity from the mid-80s, it remains a curious time capsule of genre commentary.
