‘King of the Hill’ Parodies ‘Invincible’ Comic
King of the Hill, the Emmy award-winning animated television series created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels, gave a sly wink to comic books on their Sunday, March 16 episode "Behind Closed Doors."
The soft-satirical parody of Texas middle America found housewife Peggy Hill questioning her family’s unity. When entering son Bobby’s room, she finds him reading "Unvincible," a comic that bears a striking similarity to Image’s Invincible by Robert Kirman and Cory Walker.
This is not big, breaking news but ComicMix thinks it’s pretty cool that instead of taking the easy mainstream route of spoofing Superman or Spider-Man, the show wore its comic book fan pride by choosing one of the great indie superheroes.
What I liked even more was the back cover!
That is very cool. Using one of the best super-hero comics on the stands these days.
That's great! And the back cover is a nice touch. I remember wanting to sign up for that… until I realized you had to go door-to-door selling greeting cards or something.
