Above is a "Big Little Book" I owned as a child called Spider-Man Zaps Mr. Zodiac.
What is a "Big Little Book" I hear you ask? Well, it was a once-popular comic publishing format for children; too sleight to be considered as a proper book, but too book-like to be considered a comic. You could usually find them in 5&10-type stores near the color-forms. If you think the whole concept sounds dated and depressing, perhaps that's why "Big Little Books" went the way of the dinosaurs shortly after Spider-Man zapped Mr. Zodiac.
Today's link is an old favorite of mine. James Lileks pokes fun at the book's crazy pizza-obsessed plot and absurdist artwork.
