Marvel Tales Starring Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham, published under Marvel's glorious Star Comics banner, poked fun at Marvel superheroes. Doing many backup stories for Spider Ham was Steve Mellor. I love Mellor’s work, which is funny before you read the funny words. Here are two quick samplings (and a cover) of his unique, semi-liquid style. This first cover and story are from Marvel Tales No. 1, November 1983.
This second story is from Marvel Tales No. 15, May 1987. Mike Mellor (whom I assume is a brother) supplies a very funny script.
For much more from Mr. Mellor, please visit the blog wherein I became aware of the artist's work: Shane Glines' Cartoon Retro!
