(from \u201eGigantic Curse of Iger Annual\u201c, published in 2011 by Cremo Studios)<\/b><\/h3>\n

This 150-page book is a parody of pre-code horror comics from the Iger Studio. Its author, the dedicated Michael H. Price, reprints original stories by Iger artists (mainly Robert H. Webb), but reworks some panels and fills in new text!<\/p>\n

The result are very strange comic stories, heavily interspersed with \u201erunning gags\u201c, private jokes and crummy catchphrases \u2013 catapulting these pages on a meta-level of inherent absurdity. And they are beautifully \u201eremastered\u201c and lettered<\/b>, by the way \u2013 and eerily authentic in a twisted sense.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a spoof on the Iger product. One may argue, though, that Iger stories were spoofs in the first place\u2026 They were certainly wacked out beyond belief, sometimes. Michael H. Price has shouldered the Herculean task of tackling the impossible and adding insight to inanity.<\/p>\n

Jeez, comic books from the Iger Studio! Gotta love them or hate them. My friend, the collector and comics historian Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. always calls them \u201etravesties\u201c. Well, now they are!<\/b><\/p>\n

We are proudly presenting the spoof below and the original in a separate post. So you can open it in another window \u2013 and compare the pages side by side! Enjoy.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you liked this travesty, let\u2019s hear from you!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wanna see one<\/strong> more? Maybe we can get Michael to release another goodie from his den of insanity\u2026<\/p>\n

Wanna see some<\/strong> more? Get a room! And lock yerself in! But beforehand please buy his books, although he\u2019s produced a helluva lot of them\u2026<\/p>\n

His horror-themed comic-retoolings are presented in FORBIDDEN HORRORS (b\/w), GIGANTIC CURSE OF IGER ANNUAL (in color), HORROR COMICS FROM THE GONE WORLD (b\/w), DEAD UNBURIED (b\/w) and CENSOR-BAIT COMICS (in color).<\/p>\n
