THE GONE&FORGOTTEN ADVENT(ure) CALENDAR: DAY TWENTY
The Adventures of Ford Fairlane
A comic book adaptation of the execrable motion picture vehicle starring Andrew "Dice" Clay. His baleful glare from his cramped overlook in the bottom corner seems to mirror our own despair as both comic readers and enthusiastic fans of film.

According to IMDB, Ford Fairlane was a comic strip in a couple of alternative newspapers before it was a movie.
There were possibly later adaptations, but Fairlane started as the hero of a pulp serial written by Rex Weiner. I wasn't aware of a comic strip version, excepting the book here.
I thought I had read every issue of the Shaman story arc in the first five issues of the original Legends of the Dark Knight, but that cover layout is telling me otherwise.
