Where it came from
Plop! was launched by DC Comics in 1973 as a humorous, macabre anthology series designed to capitalize on the success of underground comix while maintaining the sensibilities of a mainstream publisher. Issue number 21, released in 1975, fits within this era of offbeat satire, featuring a collection of short stories and gags that often leaned into the grotesque or the surreal, a hallmark of the title's editorial direction under Joe Orlando.
The visual identity of Plop! was heavily defined by the contributions of legendary horror and humor illustrators, including Basil Wolverton and Sergio Aragonés. The aesthetic sought to subvert traditional superhero expectations through exaggerated caricature and dark irony. Upon its release, the series was received as a niche experiment within the DC stable, ultimately finding a devoted following among readers who appreciated its departure from standard genre conventions and its commitment to the bizarre.
