About the series
In 1983, Marvel Comics published a single-issue oddity: Obnoxio the Clown, a humor title written and drawn by Alan Kupperberg. The series starred the titular wisecracking, cigar-chomping clown as a surreal, fourth-wall-breaking foil to Marvel's superhero universe. Though it lasted only one issue, it stands as a strange, forgotten footnote in Marvel's '80s publishing line—a one-off gag that leaned into absurdity over action.
