I didn't really know that much about Underground Comics, though this topic for the game has given me a chance to do a little research on it.

So I'm going the slightly other route. While I know a few Underground, I never read too much. but this is a current comic, done by Vault comics, which I love. So not done by the big two, or the more known others.

I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:
Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.
Some week, we'll have a contest that won't be drifting off with comments and not covers.
This is NOT that week. Thank whatever gods you may hold holy for that!
THIS is your brain on drugs, yo!

Found this when I was in high school, back in the day. It's biting and hilarious and recommended. Somewhere there is a nice trade collection but that's probably been out of print for years; well worth looking for, though.
Marvel went after a few people. Off the top of my head, I'm aware of this little indie thing called "Coober Skeber". Marvel took them to court and I think the ruling was that the publisher could still print the comic but they couldn't sell it for money. Then Marvel ended up actually buying some of the pieces and using them themselves.
There was also when they went after Dave Sim from Cerebus over a Wolverine parody. I don't think anything happened to Dave but when he reprinted the story, he put a label on the cover indicating that it was a spoof.
A favorite series from the 1980s. Nazrat. Loved it, still a treasured part of my collection.
Kind of wondering if someone is going to post an Omaha cover.
