The post that almost was

I recently bought a book of reprints of early super hero comics (we're talking late 30s early 40s). The sheer badness of some of them is breathtaking, but there was one that just begged for lampooning on this blog.

Unfortunately, I was beaten to it by the guys at Stupid Comics. They did such a good job I have nothing to add. I'll just give you a teaser - a panel that is just bizarre on its own (and in truth isn't really helped much by the context):

But I have to give Stupid Comics its due. I don't think I was going to come up with as good a caption for this panel as they did:

"The weed of injecting gorillas with secret serum bears bitter fruit of dismemberment!! A lesson for the ages."

I dips me lid.
