Description

When The Pulverizer axe you a question, he better like your answer.

There's a bonus Dr. Octopus versus an octopus in the lower left-hand panel.

The text is hand-lettered on the board.

From the story, "Accounts Overdrawn: Checks Returned for Lack of Funds."

Pen and ink on Graphix Duoshade 232 illustration board trimmed to 11-1/8" x 16-7/8".

A gift from Hilary Barta to Mark Badger who passed it on to me.

This is great! Reminiscent of early the Mad Magazine style of Wood and Elder.

Hilarious Punisher parody! Reminds me of the early Mad Magazine parodies, like Superduperman and Flesh Garden!
