Another heads-up. Stump (IDW) expanded with plot and trivia. Some overt parodies seem to be harder to get away with today than they were in the Archie and Mirage days, so this subtler parody almost flew under my radar...until I discovered that was specifically designed as a parody of a certain public figure at a time when he was a much more marginal topic of discussion than he is today. This makes File:Stump's testimony.jpg an even more explosive parody than I first realized. Shameless super-wealthy pop culture personality, merrily engaging in corrupt real estate dealings, selling out his entire people to a hostile foreign entity, and his own unfiltered mouth making him a liability to his partners. Wow. The Archie version only parodied his pop culture personality.
