All you have to do is add your own mustache!So this bit of creative casting on John Byrne's part was done more tongue-in-cheek than those issues where he poked fun at Neal Adams for the expanding earth thing, but still... that's a little weird. And between this and that issue of Action Comics where Superman and Big Barda are coerced into making a gentleman's special interest film, Byrne taught the youth of America a whole lot about the adult entertainment industry (like how it's generally based in the San Fernando Valley and Apokolips, for instance).
Excelsior, kids!

This is one of my all-time favorite issues of Byrne's FF. I actually talk about the issue in Deus ex Comica, and it features prominently in my author talks/selected readings presentation that I do about my book. Great issue!
Talking about this comic once still gets me a dozen hits a day from googlers looking for She-Hulk porn.
Don't get me wrong, I love this issue, too. Byrne did so much to change She-Hulk from "created to nail down a trademark" into an actual character, and this story is among my favorites from his entire FF run. I just think it's funny/wrong to see Stan cast as the magazine guy. And the fact that Byrne went to the superpr0n well more than once.
