Where it came from
Plop! was a humor anthology comic series published by DC Comics beginning in 1973, intended to capitalize on the popularity of horror-themed satire and the offbeat humor popularized by magazines like Mad. Issue number 23, released in 1975, continues the series' signature blend of grotesque illustrations and ironic twists, operating within the specific editorial landscape of 1970s DC when the company was experimenting with experimental and genre-defying titles.
The visual identity of Plop! was famously anchored by the cover art of Basil Wolverton, whose distinctively visceral and ghoulish character designs set the tone for the publication. These comics were designed to be surreal and slightly unsettling, moving away from traditional superhero narratives to embrace a more cynical, dark-comedy aesthetic that resonated with a countercultural audience interested in underground-style art produced within the framework of a mainstream publishing house.
