Back-Issue Gold Presents: Sensational She-Hulk Vol.2 #59 (ca. 1993)

Hello! And welcome to the first edition of UniversalDork’s Back-Issue Gold! Here we’ll be posting some of the most strange but fun 70’s, 80’s and 90’s single-issue-stories and arcs commonly found in your LCS’ discount boxes. Not only that, but we’re gonna give you plenty incentive to plunk down that $0.50 with detailed highlights of what makes it so special.

Leading off is from The Sensational She-Hulk Vol. 2 #59 where we find our favorite green attorney in the middle of a lawsuit between the ‘Terrible Tinkerer’ and every lame super-villian you can think of.

The highlights of this issue include:

-Blizzard testifying “jockey shorts full of ice…just what I need first thing in the morning!” Huh. I never actually thought about super-human morning wood until this.

-Whirlwind shaking his first (the most not-seriously-threatening gesture one can make) at Taskmaster saying “Why I oughta–”

-Blacklash appears. ‘Nuff said.

-Porcupine appears only to drop dead when She-Hulk points out that according to continuity, he’s dead currently. Brilliant.

-And for the current X-Force fans, we learn that Telford Porter, AKA The Vanisher goes by the alias’ B. Meeup Scotti, I.M. Owdaheere and (my favorite) Lon Gawne.

So all in all, if you are a fan of really lame or C-list villains, this issue is packed with them and well-worth the $1.29 I paid for it!
