Comics Buyer's Guide #500
In "Meet Swashbungler's Prize-Winning Villain," Fred Hembeck delivers a delightfully absurd interview with Elmer J. Fezzlemeister, a self-proclaimed comics fanatic who claims to own every issue of Alan Light's Buyer's Guide to Comics Fandom—and the first 18 issues of Comics Buyer's Guide. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered entirely by Hembeck, this 1983 gem is a meta, self-aware comic strip that pokes fun at fandom culture with a straight face and a wink.
