A lot of Marvel’s old black and white magazines might as well be soft porn. Specificly Dracula and Satana.

Has anyone mentioned US 1, a comic book about a truck driver named Ulysses Solomon Archer? His super power was that he pick up and broadcast CB radio transmissions through a metal plate in his head. He wasn’t the title character of his own comic book - US 1 was the name of his truck. At least it was until Archer became a “space trucker” and started flying his starship around the galaxy.
I nominate The Uncanny X-Men at the State Fair of Texas in the obscure category.
Mad-Dog fits your criteria perfectly. Here are all the covers.
- It was a limited series of six comics.
- It was based upon the fictional “Mad-Dog” comic from Bob Newhart’s TV series Bob.
- In line with the show’s continuity, the cover artist is billed as “Bob McKay,” Newhart’s character, and it’s published by “Ace Comics,” the publisher where he worked.
- It looks like most issues had two covers: a “dark” version and a “silver age” version.
- One of the covers for issue 4might be the kinkiest cover in Marvel history.
- The show was not a hit (due to network meddling). Comic book fans didn’t watch, and those who loved Newhart probably missed the comic references. I doubt the comic sold much at all.
I liked Damage Control…at least until it started being drawn by a three year old.

They did some religious comics, quite unironically, but the name of the worst of them escapes me. It was a superhero in the style of those awful Spire comics of the 60s.
Wolfpack was pretty awful. Larry Hama putting his neocon politics into the mouths of minority ghetto kids kinda crossed a line with me. Superboxers wasn’t very good either, but it directly inspired Scott McCloud’s forgotten masterpiece "Smash,"so it wasn’t a total loss.
“Jann of the Jungle” (reprinted in Jungle Action before they gave it over to Don MacGregor’s “Black Panther” series) wasn’t just crappy, they gave her the most sexless costume and hairstyle imaginable.
Some of the monster books were particularly uninspired, like “It the Living Colossus.” “Satana” in Vampire Tales wasn’t just a Vampirella rip-off, it was a half-hearted one. And I’ll never know what the thinking was behind “Son of Satan.”
Marvel Preview (I think; it was one of the black-and-whites) had a character called “Paradox” who was a really smarmy attempt at cashing in on Gay Chic.
Marville. Bill Jemas, one of the publishers, wanted to show how hip and cutting edge he was. It didn’t work.
Trouble. Fresh out of college, Peter Parker’s parents, aunt and uncle did a little more sexual experimentation that most of us would really want to know about. May was actually Peter’s mother! I think. Anyway, it’s out of canon at this point and we can all pretend it never happened.
The first thing I thought of was the infamous rape of Ms. Marvel storyline in the Avengers #200. Here’s another article about it.
Also, MC was a chockablock full of bad, bad, bad mini-series throughout the 1980s. But perhaps none were as woefully ill-conceived, contrived, poorly plotted, badly drawn and deservedly mercilessly lampooned as Beauty & the Beast. It was a four-issue series about the love affair between Dazzler (a character that Marvel was still desperately, unsuccessfully trying to make traction with) and the Beast (a character that had heretofore never had any connection to the first character.) The bad guy was some random jerk who claimed he was the bastard son of Dr. Doom. It was bad.
Bonus points for using the time-worn learned-your-language-from-old-broadcasts schtick to explain why the mighty alien portentously delivering wise exposition would lapse from Yea Verily And Forsooth to Ain’t Beat The Smokeys On The Way To Shakey Town.
How about Marvels swimsuit specials?
Well, we had Marvel’s Team America (motorcycle riders, not depraved puppets, sorry).
Most everything in Marvel’s New Universe lineup.
Am I seriously the first one to mention the TMNT parody “Pre-Teen Dirty-Gene Kung-Fu Kangaroos?!?!?”
[sub]i swear i am not making this up; it’s totally a thing[/sub]
ETA: Not Marvel. I need to learn to read.
I have a couple of those.
Brute Force - cybernetically enhanced animals literally fight for the environment!
The hero team was a dolphin, a bear, an eagle, a kangaroo and a lion.
Nth man was great. I don’t mean that in a ‘so bad it is good’ way either. Nth man seemed like it was written by a Jack Kirby fan, a Viet Nam veteran, and Rod Serling.
I got nearly the entire run from a friend.* I expected badly written cheez. Instead, it was excellent.
To Sum Up The Premise
The world’s only psychic uses his powers to disarm all nuclear weapons. Without the threat of mutually assured destruction stopping them, the USA, the USSR and China go to war. With the psychic continuing to wreak havoc, our only hope is John Doe, the Nth man. There was action. There were laughs. There were well developed characters you could really care about.
Back To The OP
Illuminator. He was a Christian superhero fighting such foes as Chak Ra, the New Age Menace. In one issue, the enemy is a horny teen who is pressuring his girlfriend to do more than kiss.
- I immediately rushed out and got the missing issues. They were in dollar and less boxes. Nth man is shockingly overlooked and forgotten.
Marvel did, in fact, release something called Power Pachyderms which was in the spirit of all those TMNT parodies.
There was also a comic (also not Marvel) called Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters", It must have been a thing back then…
