Aulisio, Pat – Boot Legs

Boot Legs

Wow, this page is so old that I didn’t even have a spellcheck option.  Huzzah for clearing out ancient typos!  This is the first book I’ve seen from Pat in ages (and there were plenty more in the package), and he mentions in the letter that I’ve been reading his comics since he was 14 (he’s 23 now).  Yes, I am indeed getting old.  This comic is just what it looks like from that cover: a parody book of Marvel and DC heroes.  There are a few stories in here, all of which have at least something to recommend them.  First up is Spider-Man hanging out with Lizard, eventually getting MJ in on the action.  Next you have the X-Men (Gambit, Wolverine, Cyclops and Storm in this case) drinking, going to band practice and accidentally blasting a hole in the wall of the girls bathroom.  The story with Daredevil and Punisher ends up about where you’d expect it to if you’ve ever read the comics, as those two are so clearly in love with each other.  Next is my personal favorite: Ghost Rider versus Aquaman.  Ghost Rider has gone green, switching to a bicycle, and is almost run off the road by an inexplicably driving Aquaman.  A hilariously brief fight ensues.  Finally there’s a Batman story in which he tries to convince Superman to drink and smoke pot, gets Catwoman drunk and has sex with her on a pile of money.  It’s great to hear from Pat again, even better to get some good old-fashioned parody stories of Marvel and DC big shots.  No price on this but I’d guess a buck or two…
