...but sometimes, things just piss me off. When these things pop up, I need a place to vent about them. Thankfully, my overlords at Geeks of Doom have given me a platform through which to do this.
I spotted this little tidbit on Bleeding Cool and was compelled to write something.
Superworld Comics is a store in Massachusetts that specializes in bronze, silver, and golden age comics and original comic art. On their YouTube channel, they have a feature called “Trash-A-Comic.” The title is pretty self-explanatory. Every episode, they destroy a comic book from their back-stock in what they insist are fun and creative ways for, one can only assume, the entertainment of their customers.
Because comic book fans — especially collectors of mint and slabbed comics — LOVE seeing those books destroyed.
In their first episode, they shot an issue of Classics Illustrated: Kidnapped to pieces with a paint gun.
In their second episode, they fed a near-mint issue of Dazzler to a couple of pigs before having it pecked by chickens.
In their third episode, they ripped an issue of Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories in half, put it in a blender, turned it into a smoothie, and drank it while toasting, “Here’s to the end of another worthless comic.”
In their fourth episode, they rolled over a CGC slabbed issue of Shazam with a steam shovel and fed it into a wood chipper.
Laughing all the way.
