The latest BACK ISSUE (#124, originally scheduled for an October release, delayed because of You-Know-What) is an issue dedicated to Horrific Heroes, giving me the opportunity to revisit one of my favorite Prince Street News themes, hypothetical costumes (I'm currently working on another one of these for another upcoming issue). Following up on a part of a 2018 strip in which I put Swamp Thing in a costume (as his comic book was turned from a horror book into a superhero one in order to save his struggling first series in the 1970s), I posited what five (technically six) monster heroes might look like in superhero costumes: Gloop and Gleep from The Herculoids, The Incredible Hulk, Man-Bat, Man-Thing, and Simon Garth (Marvel's Zombie). Pictured below is the strip as printed and detail on each character.
It's (maybe) worth noting that this installment of PSN was only one page instead of the normal two, which will be happening more in the future as circumstances have dictated that I have to pull back a bit on the frequency with which I do this thing. Prince Street News is certainly a labor of love, but as the saying goes, love don't pay the bills. Wait, is that a saying? Oh, well.
