For fans of the BATMAN comic books, THE ULTIMATE GNATRAT should be irresistible -- a very sly, witty, stylish, uncontrollable laugh-riot, the initial creation of crazed comic book artist & writer, MARK MARTIN, who eventually gave us 20 NUDE DANCERS 20, MONTGOMERY WART, and other outstanding examples of outrageous American humor.  THE ULTIMATE GNATRAT arrived in 1990, as a direct result of the DC graphic novel series THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS by FRANK MILLER and KLAUS JANSON (as well as the 1989 BATMAN movie), and follows a similar formula -- but then explodes in totally unexpected and hilarious directions!  Older readers may be reminded of WONDER WART-HOG, and younger readers will simply be mystified.  Highly recommended!
