original cover to Kyle Baker's Why I Hate Saturn graphic novel.

DC's Piranha Press imprint was a noble experiment that resulted in at least one comics masterpiece: OTD in 1990, #KyleBaker released the mighty #WhyIHateSaturn. I was already a fan of his art, but was not prepared for him to become my favorite comic writer. [thread]

#IHadThatComic: June 12, 1990

#WhyIHateSaturn: I was already a fan of #KyleBaker because of his inking skills, but was unprepared for him to become my favorite writer/artist. In a just world, this would have made Baker the most successful sitcom/romantic comedy writer on earth.
