Smilin' Ed Comics #4
In "Who Asked You?", Ed faces a high-stakes challenge: prove he can become a TV star in just two weeks. From spoofing Hollywood Squares to landing a spot in a Sassoon jeans ad and navigating the talk show circuit, his journey is anything but easy—especially with Tex Treason, the star he’s meant to replace, trying to knock him off the path. Written by Tom Skulan and Raoul F. Vezina, with all art and letters by Vezina, this 1981 FantaCo Enterprises gem captures the absurdity and pressure of fame with sharp humor and bold visuals, all drawn and inked by the creator on the cover as well.
