April Fools With Vertigo Ambush Bug

As it is April Fools' Day, one could actually spend a whole month (and then some) focusing on Ambush Bug as done by Keith Giffen, but instead, just a peek at his Ambush Bug Nothing Special #1 (September, 1992), from a time when comics were very serious, especially DC's Vertigo line.

So, of course, as DC's continuity cop, Ambush Bug came along and had a little fun with Swamp Thing, Doom Patrol, Sandman and Death in Keith's 9 panel style.  

Because, why not?

National Tell A Joke Day 2021

Instead of going with that other guy that usually fights Batman, here's a cover with Ambush Bug, finding out that humor is subjective, as Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are not amused by what Irwin Schwab (Ambush Bug's alter ego) had said to them.

In Action Comics #565 (March, 1985) by Keith Giffen, Robert Loren Fleming and Bob Oksner, Irwin tried to recruit heroes for the premier of his own first issue....much to the chagrin of the heroes.

It likely wasn't on National Tell A Joke Day....but, hey....read Irwin's cover copy again!
