Wednesday Worlds of What Th... SIDNEY MELLON'S THUNDERSKULL! "When Demons Do Clash!" Conclusion!

Now, witness the cataclysmic clash that only Sidney Mellon could devise!
Writers Gerard Jones & Will Jacobs and artists Chuck Austen, Norman Felche & Mike Christian produced the ultimate parody/tribute to the enthusiastic, youthful, but incredibly-inexperienced (and sometimes totally-inept) creators who jumped on the b/w speculator bandwagon in the late 1980s!
To ram the point home, they provided a text piece that conveyed the message that this was a spoof.
Ironically, it was too subtle for some readers...
But wait!
There's MORE!
Every magnum opus needs a climax, and Sidney Mellon's ThunderSkull is no exception!
There is an adult-only finale (that means there's naked breasts, guys!) that truly exemplifies the cry "He COMES!"!
If you're over 18, you can see it HERE!
BTW, for the patriotic among you, we previously-presented a historical piece about Independence Day HERE!

If you really think I'm gonna synopsize this startling storyline, you're outta your mind!
Click HERE to read the previous chapter, then continue...
For the answer to that question, you'll have to come back next Wednesday...
As for several other questions...
Yes, that's supposed to be Frank Miller and Chris Claremont praising Sidney Mellon; intellectual!
For the answers to the other questions, you'll have to return next Wednesday where you'll not only read the cataclysmic conclusion of this titanic tale and learn some sinister, long-suppressed secrets, but also witness the adults-only follow-up story!

Wednesday Worlds of What Th... SIDNEY MELLON'S THUNDERSKULL! "When Demons Do Clash!" Part 1

In the mid-1980s, almost anybody could get a b/w comic published...
...as this weird mixture of bad Stan Lee, Frank Miller and How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way demonstrates!
Let us pause, dear reader, because I'm sure you're wondering "WTF IS THIS CRAP?"
As we mentioned earlier, as the first wave of comics speculators went ape over Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (which was a parody of Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns and Ronin) and similar b/w titles, newborn direct-sales/comics shop industry was swamped by an incredible amount of inexpensively-produced b/w comics hoping to get on the sales bandwagon.
A couple were excellent and survived transitioning into color comics.
The vast majority were god-awful, produced by sincere, but inept, young writers and artists who inadvertantly took the worst of influences past and present, put them into a mental blender, and produced some truly pathetic pap that now lays in landfill all over the planet.
And then there was Slave Labor Graphic's Sidney Mellon's ThunderSkull!.
The pulse-pounding introduction to this tantalizing tome explains who Sidney is and how he came to be...
...or does it tell the true story?
For the answer, you'll have to come back next Wednesday...
