1987 was a heady time, as the success of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles led to a boom of "indy" publishing, as anyone with a pencil and a Xerox threw themselves headlong into making comic books. You didn't even need Kickstarter!!
And while there were some fine comics made, Sturgeon's Law still applied, and there were mountains of crap. And most craptacular were the attempts to recapture the glory of TMNT. All you had to do was title your book Adjective Adjective Adjective Animal, and you were set to flood your crap into comic stores. Oh, there were Cold-Blooded Chameleon Commandos, Adolescent Radioactive Black-Belt Hamsters, Pre-Teen Dirty Gene Kangaroos...yes, those are all real.
But perhaps the grandest of them all?
Yes, Sultry Teenage Super-Foxes.
Yes, that really existed.
Created by Rich Buckler (!) and Chris Wojkiewicz, scripted by David George, penciled by Wojkiewicz, this little turd bomb was published by here today, gone tomorrow Solson. And boy, does it suck!
Let's begin our story...
Well, actually, yes, because as the caption makes clear, the ladies have one thing on their mind: virile men!
Meanwhile, it turns out that Jasmine's father is a scientist at the base, experimenting on using "eldritch energies" to transmute matter. Except the damned government is about to cut off funding!! So obviously...
Sadly, the book only lasted two issues...but I'm certain that Fox is probably looking into the movie rights...
So remember the dangers of surfing the Quarter Bin--someday you're going to get stuck with crap like Sultry Teenage Super-Foxes. Beware!!

So it basically laid the groundwork for such books as Lady Death, Tarot and the titillating rest.
Yeesh!
Gary Brodsky's got a LOT to answer for.
It was Pre-Teen Dirty Gene KUNG FU Kangaroos.
That makes all the difference, eh?
