Tales From The Quarter Bin--Troll Patrol!!

Some days the Quarter Bin makes it all too easy:

Oh, Harvey Comics in the 1990s...Trollinator? Robotroll? Predatroll? Is there any reason to go on reading comics, after experiencing a joy so sublime?

Now lest you think this was just a name...it's time to meet The Troll Patrol!!






And, of course, there are bad guys...and for once, the cover wasn't lying to us:

But wait--there's more!!

Let's take a look at...Troll TV programs!!







Yes....yes, they are...

Despite an essay on the first issue's "letters page" promising us "much more of them" in "future issues," for some reason there never was a Troll Patrol #2. So "the funniest and most exciting concept of the troll phenomenon around" never went on to "reveal more of the incredible history of the Troll Patrol." Damn you, cruel world!!

But don't fret too much. By my watch, we're due for another of the periodic outbreaks of cultural troll popularity in another 3 or 4 years...so there's hope!!

Troll Patrol #1 (and only) was from 1993.
