ONE-FISTED TALES "Lo, If the Earth Should Move!"

In the late 1980s, a parody of badly-done b/w comics punked gullible people...
...and amused the more perceptive among us, so the creators decided to take the parody to the ultimate level, spoofing "Tijuana Bible" comics in Slave Labor Graphics' One-Fisted Tales #2 (1990)!
Writers Gerard Jones & Will Jacobs and illustrators Norman Felche & Mike Christian capture both the youthful enthuisasm and youthful ineptness of many of the inexperienced creators who desperately tried to cash in on the b/w comics craze of the late 1980s-early 1990s.
The tale reads and looks like teenage virgin nerds who read too much Stan Lee and Frank Miller and used How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way as their visual guidebook, wrote and drew it!
Enjoy!
