Ah, pie. One of the great joys of Thanksgiving...that can so easily turn to abject terror if done wrong. From burnt crusts, to terrible fillings, pie is either really good, or really, really bad. Here's ten of the worst Thanksgiving pies we've ever seen...

When the lead in your comic book is Vanilla Ice, it's safe to say you have one of the worst comic books of all time. And yet, publishers and musicians have been teaming up for bizarre comic book mash-ups for years.

We've all seen one: a sign advertising a restaurant with the featured meat inside hungrily getting ready to eat itself. On the surface, it's supposed to indicate, "Yummy meat here!" But the more you think about it, the weirder and more disturbing it gets. So prepa...

Written and drawn by members of Gwar, 'Slavepit Funnies: Featuring Gwar' is exactly what you think a comic book version of the over-the-top punk band would be, complete with people being sliced in half, monsters and general insanity. So for that, it doesn’t deserve to be on a worst music comics list...

This comic book series is infamous for being one of the most ridiculous books of all time, including, but not limited to, the time Lois turned herself black to find out how the other half lived. And then there’s the time she wrote a song with Pat Boone that revealed Superman’s secret identity, so he had to stop them...

A promotional comic published by Marvel, the eight pager is actually one of the more fun items on this list, with a script by classic writer Jim Salicrup and solid art by June Brigman. But it also tries to tell the story through Cheap Trick lyrics, which resulted in one weird comic...

Most of Marvel Music’s output actually strived for authenticity, like a three part Alice Cooper story by Neil Gaiman. When it came to country/honky-tonk artist Marty Stuart though, the Spider-Man publisher thought it would be a great idea to turn the pen over to Stuart himself...

Another entry in Bluewater’s FAME series profiles Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson. At least 50 has a bit of a story, right? He’s lived through some stuff, and has a tale to tell? Yet, somehow, this book kicks off with a Ninja Turtle and Mr...

There’s only one thing you need to know about this, and no, we’re not joking: this was a three issue long mini-series. Somehow, someone figured out enough stories bringing together Richie Rich and the New Kids to fill three entire comic books...

In 1991, DC Comics briefly launched an indie comics imprint called Piranha Music, mainly so they could publish Prince Comics (okay, maybe not totally true, but we like to think that was the raison d’etre). We don’t want to speak to ill of the 'Prince' comics, since the late, great writer Dwayne McDuffie wrote ‘em, but...

We’ll be honest, we haven’t actually read this one. But the 'Slam' and 'Judgement Night' auteurs' first and only graphic novel courtesy of Marvel's short-lived Music line has the following description on Amazon that doesn’t give us a lot of hope that its any good: “WAT DO YO DO WHEN YOU ARE RAPPERS IN POST-ATOMIC HOLOCAUST NEW YORK...

There was actually a pretty good comic book about the Rolling Stones through Marvel, with art by 'Sandman' cover artist Dave McKean, but that’s not the one we’re adding to this list. Nope, this is 'Rock Fantasy: The Rolling Stones,' a thirty page biography of the band...

Not content to conquer all house parties on the big screen, “rap” duo Kid n’ Play also made a name for themselves in a Saturday morning cartoon series that ran for two seasons on NBC. That was then spun off into a Marvel Comic that only lasted nine issues, mainly because the Venn Diagram of People Who Like Softcore Rap, People Who Watch Saturday Morning Cartoons, and People Who Read Comics Based O

Published in the ‘90s by Malibu Comics, this comic featured the former lead guitarist of The Runaways and 'Kiss Me Deadly' singer as a sort of futuristic, guitar-wielding amazon warrior. It ran for over three hundred issues, and is considered one of the most influential comics of all time...

Long before Bluewater, there was Rock N’ Roll Comics, which peddled cut rate biographies of rock bands and artists with a proud, “100% unauthorized material!” label on the cover. One victim of their comics? Aerosmith, who, if you knew nothing else about the band, you would think from the look of the comic that their lead singer was some sort of Frog-Man...
