The sexual innuendo I can handle. I'm stabbing out my brain for the sheer stupidity and logical paradoxes, though.Crossfire wrote:*stabs out own brain*
Few... childhood... memories... shattered... despite fact.. I wasn't alive for these....
well I think a lot of that was the fault of the artist Gary Frank. In thar run I remember seeing all sorts of strange characters like "doomsday" and "death(DC)" showing up. but most of his word (that I've read) doesn't have that kinda stuff. course granted I haven't read that much David, only thing of his I really ever enjoyed was his Aquaman run.Jim North wrote:Nope. Sad to say, they are really real. But I believe that they were, for the most part, considered imaginary tales, so they could do just about anything they wanted in both Jimmy's and Lois' comics without messing up continuity.
As for the Hulk comic . . . since it was from the 90's, I'd bet that it was most likely written by Peter David. And if that's the case, the innuendo was definitely intentional. The good Sir David is quite (in)famous for the intentionally bad jokes that weaves throughout his work. There's one issue of the Hulk that he wrote wherein Hulk's blonde wife Betty started a new job as a telemarketer (or something like that), and the person sitting in the booth next to her was a black-haired woman named Veronica.
If you want to see him at his best/worst, check out his run on Young Justice. It's almost nothing but silly jokes from front to back. Also, look into Spider-Man 2099, wherein Miguel O'Hara constantly spouts all sorts of one-liners, from the insanely hilarious to the facepalming horribly cheesy. And because it's a damn good read, too.phactorri wrote:well I think a lot of that was the fault of the artist Gary Frank.

Young Justice is pretty good. forgot he write that. I liked Waids run on YJ more. but peter David wasn't to bad. I seemingly remember impulse having a plushy version of Ambush bug. I have some Spidey 2099 comics too. Thats been some time ago. I use to love the 2099 stuff til they really lamed it up post the fall of the hammer storyline.Jim North wrote:If you want to see him at his best/worst, check out his run on Young Justice.

And then there's his Star Trek novels, which have scenes like Geordie La Forge being teleported by Trelane into Deanna Troi's shower (while she's currently occupying it, of course), and Lwaxana Troi puntkicking Q half-way across the Enterprise.
Lost all of mine, unfortunately. I used to have well over a thousand dollars worth of comics at one point.corgan_dane wrote:Spidey 2099 was sweeeeet.
Still have the first one with the shiny red cover...

(reads that)
Yeah. Shouldn't have used "drooling" and "whipped 'em out" in the same sentence...at least not in this forum.
(waits for the wave of perversion to hit.)
Looking at some of those, your ideas are actually quite probable..
