Legion of Stupid Heroes

A four-issue miniseries from the small press, Legion of Stupid Heroes (1997–1998) is a comedic deconstruction of superhero team tropes, published by Alternate Concepts. Written by Johnny Lauck with art by Chas Gillen, the series lampoons the earnestness of classic hero squads by centering on a group of profoundly inept and comically dim-witted characters. It matters as a cult oddity of the late-90s indie scene, capturing the era's irreverent, anti-heroic humor with a sharp, goofy edge.
