Son of Ambush Bug
DC · 1986 · 6 issues
About the series
Keith Giffen, Robert Loren Fleming, and Steven Bissette drove this six-issue DC series, a delirious spin-off from the main Ambush Bug title. Following the chaotic misadventures of Irwin Schwab—the son of the titular, reality-bending hero—the book gleefully skewered comic book tropes and fourth-wall conventions. A cult favorite of the late 1980s, it remains a landmark of meta-comedy, showcasing Giffen and Bissette at their most unhinged and inventive.
