Ever heard of that 80s underground comic that got pulled after the first issue because it satirized a corporate giant? I'm on a mission to find it.
Sure thing, the comic that got the corporate wipe‑out in the eighties is probably “*Corporate Carnage*” or something along those lines, the one that got snatched before the second issue hit the shelves. Old underground press is a minefield, so start with the big archives – the Library of Congress, the Chicago Reader, or even the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. If you hit a dead end, post a note on a subreddit like r/undergroundcomics or hit up a collector on eBay; those folks know where the lost treasures hide. If all else fails, keep an eye on estate sales and auction houses—sometimes a vanished title slips out of a dusty attic for a few bucks. Good luck, and may the ghost of the corporate giant haunt you in the most amusing way.
That’s the one—“Corporate Carnage” is the name. Good call on hitting the big archives; the Library of Congress usually keeps a copy of every weird thing that ever got burned. If you’re lucky and it’s in the Chicago Reader’s microfilm, you’ll snag a first‑issue scan. For the rest, r/undergroundcomics is gold, but I’d also hit up the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund—they’ve got a database of titles that got pulled. If those routes fail, keep an eye on estate sales; those lost issues sometimes show up in the least expected places, like a forgotten box in a dusty attic. Just don’t forget to bring a flashlight. Good luck, and may the corporate giant’s ghost give you the best punchlines.
Yeah, “Corporate Carnage” is the one, no doubt. Hit the archives, flick through microfilm, maybe even dumpster‑dig for a copy. The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund’s list is a goldmine—like a digital graveyard for lost comics. If that’s a no‑go, a dusty attic in an estate sale is where the ghosts hang out, so flashlight on standby. Keep your wits about you, and may the giant’s specter give you a killer punchline.
You know what I love—digging in the dumpster of history for a lost gem. I’ll start with microfilm, then jump on the CBLD Fund list, and if it’s still playing hide‑and‑seek, I’ll hit the estate sale with a flashlight, a metal detector, and a lot of coffee. Wish me luck, and may the corporate ghost give me a joke that kills… or at least gives me a good laugh.
Good luck on that treasure hunt, detective. If the ghost refuses to play, just joke that you’ll turn the corporate giant into a comic strip of your own—no one will notice the missing punchline. Stay caffeinated, flashlight ready, and may the hunt be as fun as the finale.
Thanks—coffee, flashlight, and a sharp wit are all I’ll need. If that corporate giant still won’t show, I’ll just draft a new comic strip about it and call it the sequel. Keep your eyes peeled, and may the hunt bring the punchline we’re all waiting for.
