The Wall of Crap!

We love comics. But some less so than others.

Some time ago, SCREAMING MONKEY COMICS started a wall paying homage to some of the biggest ill-conceived issues, boring tales, and in some cases....outright dumpster fires....that have ever been sold on a comic book shelf.

And so began the legend of the Wall of Crap!

In case you don't have a chance to visit the store and see them in person,

you can enjoy our virtual display of the books that have now been lost to

the indifference of time.

STREET FIGHTER #1 (1986)

Trust me. I've researched it exhaustively. This is not a

cheap knockoff of the well known video game, despite the bizarrely similar title logo. It has nothing to do with the game, which wouldn't be released in Japan for another two years. It was just....well.....boring as hell.

SUPERMAN / RADIO SHACK (1980)

The Man of Steel appears as a guest teacher at a

Metropolis middle school to help the kids appreciate the amazing computer power of the Radio Shack

TRS-80, but he ends up needing their help to avert

an oncoming disaster! Oh, Radio Shack....I actually owned a TRS-80. It used a cassette tape drive for storage, the graphics looked like something the

Atari 2600 had puked up, and it couldn't avoid

interference from my sister's hairdryer. This book

lied to me!

THE MAN FROM ATLANTIS (1978)

I'll bet you couldn't find more than a dozen people who have heard of this 1977 television series starring Patrick Duffy - about an amnesiac man who may or or may not be the last surviving citizen of Atlantis.

I'll bet you can find even less people who were aware that they made a comic book about it. Don't worry, Patrick. Some day you'll star in DALLAS and no one will remember this turkey. Except us.

CAPTAIN DINGLEBERRY #1 (1998)

If there was ever a comic that was literally born to be on the Wall of Crap, this is it right here. Thank God it was only in black & white.

It was later followed up by a mini-series called "Captain Dingleberry: Unplugged." Goodness.

CHUCK NORRIS: KARATE

KOMMANDOS #2 (1987)

Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants. Here are two interesting facts about this comic. First, it was based off of a short-lived animated series from the 1980s. Second, it was illustrated by the late great Steve Ditko. Yes,

THAT Steve Ditko. Swear to God. Why?

Because Chuck Norris commanded it.
