We’re back for the fourth and final chapter of Blooperman, a story that ran in Charlton’s GO-GO for four issues during 1966 at the height of the super hero craze, and which incorporated ideas and characters from comic book fandom, most of which were the innovations of future Marvel superstar Roy Thomas. On this issue’s cover, Blooperman is once again drawn by his original visualizer, Jon D’Agostino.
This final chapter isn’t even labeled as being a Blooperman outing. Instead, the emphasis is on the parody versions of the Marvel super heroes. Like the members of the Bestest League of America, these parodies all extend back to fandom, and were all imagined by Roy Thomas. Roy gave permission for his good friend writer Gary Friedrich to use them in this story. Fan artist Grass Green again pencils the chapter, with inks by mainstay artist Frank McLaughlin.
Despite the final blurb on this story, this would turn out to be the last exploit of Blooperman.
The Tom Brevoort Experience 
The lettering Charlton used was always my biggest problem with getting into their comics. I could get past it for E-Man and Doomsday+1 but that’s about it.

Charlton had long abandoned the typewritten lettering by then, I think.
The lettering in DOOMSDAY+1 and ROG-2000 wasn’t great, but it was John Byrne hand-lettering.

Speaking of D+1, I had an idea back then for if Marvel had bought the property. More like a daydream. Take a few mainstream characters and launch a title set in an alternate timeline where they were the crew that returned to a devastated Earth while the ‘real’ versions stayed active in other titles. I don’t remember the whole cast but I know Tony Stark was one. I guess I realized Stark’s potential right before Michelinie and Layton would educate everyone else.

Too bad they didn’t get another installment — Charlton goofing on their own heroes might’ve been fun to see. The Blue Weevil? Captain Up-And-At-Em? Thunder-Dolt? The Haymaker? Throw in some meta-humor about the cheap printing and typewriter lettering, and the thing practically writes itself…
