Comics you probably don't know exist

I got this idea from the CGC boards, but I can't seem to register for some reason, so I thought I'd bring it over here.

While going through my comics I found a few comics that aren't in Overstreet and are, for the most part, a riot. Here you go:

He-Man promo comic given out at movie. Selling this on tomorrow on e-bay.

I don't know how this even got into my collection. But it's not in Overstreet

Sigh...

This will be worth a lot of money some day.

And finally, my favorite...

Let me just repeat...Deaf superhero fights for good nutrition.

Anybody else have any boners?

I don't see what this has to do with comics.

"I loved Van Damme back in the day...)"

Way too much info for me.

I don't have a pic, but Marvel once put a one shot based on Pope John Paul II. I was surprised when I came across that one in a cheap bin.... so I had to buy it.

This should not to be confused with the more recent and very independant 'Battle Pope'.

A comic on the Pope? By Marvel...?!~???!!?!?~??~?~@#JKL$@J;

Does it reveal the secrete identity of the pope and where you can find the pope-cave or what the all the gizmos do in the pope-mobile?

What I find interesting is that it was $1.50 when all the rest of the Marvel books of the day were 60 cents.

Well, ok, ok, it's double sized...with DOUBLE the papal action!

Anyone have the Woodstock '94 Marvel comic that came with Woodstock Dogtags?

couldn't find John the Baptist, but here's another famous John I found while looking:

I didn't even know those exist. I wonder what other comics are out there!

I borrowed those scans from our friends at Mile High. I'm actually in the market for a decent condition copy of that Johnny Cash comic, doesn't have to be NM, but at least a bit better looking than the one in the MH scan.

I love that mini Mother Teresa in the logo box.

I have all three issues. And they're really bad.

Origin story has Reagan and his cabinet wanting to do more to fight Communists, drug dealers, etc, and they volunteer for a process to turn into superheroes. But the whole series is really f'ed up. I'll have to scan in some pages.

Rich Buckler, who was involved with this comic, is infamous for his numerous swiped panels in his comics work (supposedly he might've done more swiping than Liefeld, but that's because Buckler did art for a LOT of comics).

here's another one. I always see this book in bargain boxes but haven't picked it up, but the title always makes me smile when I see it:
