Captain Crusader
(TPI, 1990)
™ and ©1990 TPI Comics
Poor Paul Pickardson. He’s an unattractive nebbish, tormented by his co-workers, his friends, even his elderly mother. One particularly hard day, while lost in his precious comic books, Paul realizes his true purpose. To no longer read comics, but to star in one! So with cheap boots from K-Mart, a bad mask to hide his pimples, and a cape made by his mother, Paul transforms himself into the badly costumed Captain Crusader!
Don’t expect coherent, linear plots in this title, just page after page of delicious stream-of-consciousness satire. Writer Thomas Kuhn uses his comic soapbox to skewer any number of society’s foibles, including overbearing bosses, crossdressers, skateboarders, the computer generation, and the KKK. The book is filled with one gag after another and in-jokes galore.
