Frank Miller Holy Terror parody
In a way, Frank Miller has become a parody of himself so the label is almost superfluous.

Anyway, to you lucky few who have never heard of it, some years back Miller outlined his idea for a propaganda comic which was essentially Batman vs. Osama bin Laden, Holy Terror, Batman!. Yes, take a moment to goggle. You see what I meant about self-parody? It's not even fish in a barrel territory, it's more like the fish gutted itself, rolled around in lemon juice and butter then flopped into the frying pan. But dear god, when a guy sets himself up like this he's just begging the Internet to take a whack. I was going to save this parody for the new digs but I thought I'd say goodbye to 2.0 with my first ever post.

It took me years to find this sumbitch again but posting it was clearly a categorical imperative. Kant himself would have agreed with me. I have no idea who made it save for a nom de plume (Mr. Quill) and a now-defunct link thankfully archived on the Internet Archive.

Oh, and for legality, a page from one of my favourite webcomics, Gunnerkrig Court:



I swear, I was totally reading it long before Neil Gaiman got everyone else on the bandwagon. Oh, and to save you Googling time, the sentence up top says in Latin, "Pray, read, reread, work and you will find [it]" - advice for budding or exhausted alchemists.
