Hollywood Superstars

In this five-issue 1990–1991 Marvel miniseries, writer Mark Evanier and artist Sergio Aragonés turn a satirical eye on the comic book industry itself, following a group of Hollywood actors who decide to launch their own superhero line. A playful, meta take on the absurdities of celebrity culture and publishing, it’s a lighthearted romp from two of the medium’s most beloved humorists. Though brief, the series stands as a quirky snapshot of early-’90s Marvel, poking fun at the very business it was part of.
