Strange Sports Stories #5

I’m going to the hockey game tonight, so I thought I’d look for a good hockey-themed comic book cover to post, but there really aren’t that many. There are couple of Wayne Gretzky issues of sports personality comics from the 1990s, and then there’s Spider-Man PSA comic “Skating on Thin Ice” that I’ve written about before, but that’s about it. This cover from Strange Sports Stories #5 is the best of the bunch by far. If a Skeletor-wannabe for goalie isn’t enough, how about playing hockey on an ice floe going over a waterfall? Now I really want to read this story.

    I love these weird comics – there was also an old ‘Tales from the Crypt’ where the Yankees had to play baseball…against SATAN!

    I want to know about the space-skiing sherrif. (insert Silver Snowboarder joke here)

    @plok: oh, man. I’m trying hard not to beg for scans ;)
