World's Worst Comics Awards

In the early '90s, Kitchen Sink Press gave the comic industry a good-natured, satirical spanking with World's Worst Comics Awards—a two-issue series that gleefully lampooned the medium's most embarrassing moments. Conceived by writer James Schumeister and brought to life by artist Rich Larson, this short-lived but sharp-witted send-up was a loving roast from fans who knew the field inside out. It remains a time capsule of the era's cheesiest panels, silliest plots, and most cringe-worthy character decisions, all served with a knowing wink.
