My dude Condorman negging to kino
So the Condorman gimmick is that he’s a comic book artist who dresses up as his hero to prove that his comics are realistic, sort of like Dave Sim, but most of his adventures just involve fancy Bond ripoff vehicles instead

The real intrigue of Condorman is the main character trying to get rid of that G rating
Whitman / Gold Key was notorious for doing licensed series that only lasted a few issues. By 1981 when this third and final CONDORMAN was published they’d abandoned newsstand distribution entirely, exclusively selling in plastic-bagged three-packs at drugstores and toy stores
Another famous Gold Key trick was to make the first issue or two a direct adaptation of the source material to placate the license holders and then fuck around afterwards when they stopped paying attention
