BANANA NUMBER ONE #1 preview

BANANA NUMBER ONE #1 Mike Allred Cover

ComicTom101 and BAD IDEA are the opposite of ashamed to present a comic book so stupid it’s genius: BANANA NUMBER ONE #1.

Written one page at a time with zero outline, no roadmap, and absolutely no plan by Eisner-nominated storyteller Joshua Dysart, Banana Number One tells the story of a genetically mysterious, seven-foot-tall sentient banana — raised in secret, turned race car driver, turned sex symbol, turned global celebrity, and ultimately turned revolutionary icon — caught between human civilization, fruit rebellion, and the coming war between the two.

Joining Dysart are four of the most overqualified artists ever recruited into fruit-based fiction. Legendary illustrator Kevin Maguire (Justice League International) brings his unmistakable style to the interior pages. Comics icon Mike Allred (Madman, iZombie) delivers a stunning cover worthy of a banana-led revolution. Rico Renzi (Spider-Gwen) supplies the radioactively vibrant, visually bananas color palette. And Eisner-winner David Lapham (Stray Bullets) even hand-lettered the title captions—because of course he did.

BANANA NUMBER ONE #1 is exclusively avaliable via the ComicTom101 Mystery Mail Call and only while supplies last.

Would the most ridiculous, over-the-top, absurd comic book stunt of the decade be complete without a variant? Of course not!

Behold, the incredible BANANA NUMBER ONE #1 Spider-Man (1990) #1 homage variant by Raymond Gay! Marvel at the stunning attention to detail taken to replicate the great Todd McFarlane’s original cover complete with UPC profile art, hanging banana corner box art, on theme cover issue title caption…all Comic Tom Code approved!

BANANA NUMBER ONE #1 Spider-Man (1990) #1 Direct Market Edition

But how did we pick which version of the 1990 Spider-Man #1 cover to homage? Why the regular direct market cover and not the silver edition or the platinum or the Walmart gold with UPC cover? Easy. We didn’t.
