You might have considered and dismissed it, understandably so. It’s notable almost entirely — unless you were the late Alan Kupperberg, whom I mean no disrespect — for being an early indicator of Marvel’s realization of just what a draw the X-Men had become, using them to sell a one-shot starring a character from the <i>Mad</i>-style magazine <i>Crazy</i>. They appear only in the 10-page lead story and the proper title of the one-shot per the indicia is not <i>Obnoxio the Clown vs. the X-Men</i> despite the size of their logo on the cover. And that may honestly be all that’s worth saying about it. 8^)<br /><br>Blamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342343767763035991noreply@blogger.com
