Marvel Comics #1

A single-issue Marvel Comics #1 from 1990, this oddity is a parody comic written and drawn by Ben Thompson that recasts the Marvel Universe as a raucous, absurdist sitcom. Published by Marvel itself, the book gleefully skewers the company's own icons and tropes through a fast-paced, gag-heavy narrative. It stands as a unique, self-aware artifact of its era, offering a humorous outsider's take on the very house of ideas that published it.
