About the series
From 1987, Marvel Comics released a four-issue series that mashed up its own Spider-Man (Peter Parker) with a bizarre array of licensed characters, including Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble, Cap'n Crunch, Gumby, and Pokey. Written primarily by Flint Dille and Jim Salicrup, with art by Carmine Infantino and the James Fry duo, this short-lived crossover experiment stands as a curious artifact of 1980s pop-culture synergy. While the "Inhumanoids" title suggests a monstrous theme, the series is notable for its unexpected assembly of guest stars rather than any cohesive narrative. Its brief run remains a oddity for collectors of Marvel's more eccentric licensed ventures.
