Street Poet Ray, koko sarja #1-4

Tämä neljän lehden satsi on aina mukana, kun listataan Marvel Comicsin kummallisimpia julkaisuja kautta aikojen.

Michael Redmondin riimittelyä elämän arjesta ja murheista höystettynä Junko Hosizawan kuvituksella. Mustavalkoinen kuvitus on samanlaista kuin kansissa.

Marvel julkaisi nämä neljä lehteä 1990 ja sitä ennen indiejulkaisija Blackthorne oli jo ehtinyt aloittaa Rayn riimittelyn.

Tässä siis Marvelin sarja.

Marvelilla ilmestymisen aikaan töissä ollut Tom Brevoort kirjoittaa blogissaan seuraavasti:

"The least-successful Marvel comic of the era–and possibly the worst-selling of all time–was a licensed title called STREET POET RAY. Somebody somewhere in the organization had seen the guy behind Ray perform or produce some of his pseudo-rap, and thought putting out a comic book would give Marvel “street cred”, as well as being an absolute cash cow. Didn’t work out that way. In fact, the artwork in STREET POET RAY was about the most amateurish to ever grace a Marvel book. Pretty much everybody in the editorial department knew that this was a venture foredoomed to failure, and a bit of an embarassment as well, but we were obliged to get it done. I myself had nothing to do with STREET POET RAY, but I did come across this doctored monster cover put together, if memory serves, by Paul Curtis, which very well summed up our feelings towards STREET POET RAY. This hung on my wall for awhile–you can see it if you look closely in the photograph I ran yesterday. "
