Boffo Laffs

Boffo Laughs collects new and reprinted comic strips that comment on the field of comic books and some witty and droll parodies of various comic book titles and genres. This is the title that featured the first hologram cover as well as the first comic book to coin the term, “Marvel Zombie” in response to a letter from a Marvel fan who was disgusted that Groo the Wanderer was published by Marvel while there was still no Wolverine title at the time of publication. The responses are quite amusing.
