Bear Porn
Before I was into comic books at all, my father took me to the “Red Barn” shop in Andover, New Jersey and I naively started fingering everything that caught my eye. I didn’t go for any superhero titles, but that day I walked out with Myth Adventures #1 and 2 and Boris the Bear #9 and 10. 9 had a great G.I. Joe parody cover (above) that really attracted my eye. I don’t recall too much about the plots of Boris and I’m sure I didn’t comprehend what satire was at age 10, but seeing Boris brutally murder recognizable characters was the tits.

Look at how stoked all the dudes are about Boris. He’s got a posse backing him up. Do you still own this, dude?

I don’t. I only owned about five issues that were all completely random purchases when I was a kid. I think I just liked cartoon bears.
I wish Liefeld did a cover or two.

I totally forgot about Boris. He fucking rules! I had a couple of these books.
I think the kid that owned Boris worked at a comic store, so Boris would read comics and then day dream about being a hero and killing people and shit.
Wasn’t there a comic about some ninja rabbit or something. I love parody comics. I still have the tick #1
