can't believe it still isn't 1985
Mar. 18th, 2011 12:45 pmThis week STUPID COMICS takes a long look at an anime-inspired comic that not only was a little too anime inspired, it was about five years too late to be anything other than a atavistic throwback.
Wow, a motorcycle that turns into a robot? I wonder where they came up with THAT idea? Actually I KNOW where they came up with that idea and you will too when you read STUPID COMICS! To be honest, I'll venture you know where they came up with that idea even BEFORE you read this week's Stupid Comics.
I feel kind of iffy about this one; I don't know any of the people involved but I know people who know them. And I've done my share of fakey anime ripoff comics in my time. But hey, I was very upfront about my anime ripoff comics and I wasn't selling them in comic book shops as my own original creations, either. I may be poor but I'm honest! As opposed to the millionaires we're talking about here, right? Actually one guy involved with this comic did make a great deal of money out of one of his comics that wasn't a particularly original creation. It's a long story and it involves Mothman, and if you talk too much about it, mysterious men in suits show up to tell you to keep quiet. Perhaps I've said too much.
