PATHETIC!: Tom Morgan Parodies Captain America: Brave New World in New Cover
Jesse Simon’s PATHETIC!, a Hilarious Magazine in the Vein of MAD and SICK, is now on Kickstarter!
New York, NY – On Sunday, Simon Comics and publisher Jesse Simon (ShieldMaster) launched a new crowdfunding campaign, setting up a new era for the publisher that will blend all-new series with legacy titles drawn from Joe Simon’s long comics career. The new campaign features one magazine of particular note: PATHETIC!.
A parody magazine that calls back to the heyday of MAD, Cracked, and Sick, PATHETIC! will launch with an all-new cover parodying everyone’s favorite shield-slinging superhero. That seamless blend of contemporary pop culture and celebrating the legacy of Joe Simon is emblematic of the mix Simon Comics is going for – and also just plain funny!
"I am excited to see comic fans, whether you appreciate the Golden Age or modern books, come together and see what we are doing at Simon Comics," said publisher Jesse Simon. "Made for fans of comics, by fans of comics, we hope there truly is something for everyone!"
PATHETIC! will launch in two formats: a standard magazine sized like a modern comic book and a magazine-sized printing that evokes the feeling and history of the magazines that inspired it.
You can view the campaign here.
PATHETIC! features old and new material with a never-before-seen Joe Simon painting. In addition, a hilarious parody cover of a certain movie debuting in the month of February by Tom Morgan! Choose between Pathetic!'s magazine-sized presentation or a modern-sized comic book!
