World’s Worst Comics Awards

    (Kitchen Sink, 1990-1991)
©1990 James I. Schumeister and Richard J. Larson

It’s about time someone stopped to recognize all the horribly corny, tacky, silly, ridiculous, or just plain bad comics published in the last twenty-five years. In this two-issue “awards show,” Rich Larson and James Schumeister do just that. It’s a wonderful time as they hand out awards for “worst costume” (a category so crowded that Mighty Comics’ “Vegetable” only scored as runner-up!), “worst name” (Jack Kirby’s “Paranex, the Fighting Fetus” didn’t win!), “worst team,” and more.

There are also special awards for bad ads (remember Sea Monkeys?), bad dialog, and other dubious achievements.

And then there is the pièce de résistance: “worst comic of all time”…
