Lessons learned from licensed comic books

When your comic book adapted from a popular film, television program or toy has been around for some time, you may be unaware of certain deficiencies which have crept into the comics.

Here are three warning signs to bear in mind.

HAS YOUR CAUCASIAN PROTAGONIST...

1. ...Begun growing his blond hair into a mullet?
2. ...Been wielding ridiculous, giant firearms?
3. ...Taken to wearing a bandanna around his head?

If you answered "yes" to all three of these questions, then you are publishing either...

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero

...Or Star Wars.

When this happens, you are certain to be cancelled soon after.
