Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!
Rules:
-
Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.
-
Single panels are preferred.
-
Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.
-
Don't be a dick.
-
I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

I don't blame you, it's unbelievably stupid. But I was into it as a kid, so I keep up with the storylines without reading the comics. Once they decided to reboot everything I lost a lot of interest.
