Pogo #5
1975

Life moves pretty fast in the world of pre-teen homemade comics. Fire Girl, who was only introduced in the previous issue, is killed off already here. When attacked by Fire Girl's beams of flame, Pogo suddenly gains the power of speech. And then he climbs into the storm drain and says "Guess I'll just climb into my hole about 3 years" and suddenly, boom, it's the final issue of the comic. Mystifying.
