Out of Context Comics

Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!

Rules:

  1. Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.

  2. Single panels are preferred.

  3. Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.

  4. Don't be a dick.

  5. I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

The origin story is hilarious too. The guy simply got crushed by a wall on a construction site!

1974, Spidey Super Stories #8, Part Two: Up Against the Wall

It's a ridiculous story and only a couple of pages.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I think this story was done in live-action on The Electric Company.

Edit: Yup!

Edit 2: Also featuring a very young Morgan Freeman.

Oh wow, those EC Spider-stories were really cute. (I guess we're both pretty old, huh? lol)

You know, there's another EC series I want to post somewhere, but... I'm not exactly sure where that might be. Remember this one, with Morgan Freeman on the left?

Oh yeah, these were definitely part of my childhood! And I think that might be Rita Moreno on the right.

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 4 points 15 hours ago

Good memory, my fellow oldster!

Still, from what I've researched just now, it was a bigger mix than just that, and not always involving Morgan (or Moreno). So, also involved was-- Lee Chamberlin, Hattie Winston, Jim Boyd, Judy Graubart and some others?

And considering that looks like a baseball umpire, we've got squares, circles and diamonds all in play! My head's just spinning, man. :S

Reminds me of something out of The Boys animated series 🤣
