resolved Spider-Man holiday special? Print Comic
Which issue/holiday special is this example from the "Friend To All Children" page reffering to? "One Christmas Special has Spider-Man making his regular visit to the sick children's ward in hospital to the utter jubilation of the kids. Unfortunately, J. Jonah Jameson is also there and angrily tells Spider-Man to buzz off, however every single boy and girl, as well as the nurse, vetoes this demanding that "Spidey" can stay and the kids even rip into Jameson, pointing out all the times Spider-Man has selflessly saved and cared for them. At the end of the issue, armed criminals burst into the hospital and threaten the children, triggering an Unstoppable Rage from Spidey."
resolved Graphic novel: Homeless girl turns into monster Print Comic
This is a comic book / graphic novel I saw recently at a used book sale; I don't know when it was published. The main character is a homeless Black girl with a blue stripe in her hair. She transforms into a goopy monster with pure blue eyes. I believe she ends up getting stuck in monster form. There's a scene where she breaks into an apartment and finds an abused kitten that had its whiskers cut off. I think this was a Western comic, not a translated manga. I tried checking Homeless Hero and Shapeshifter Mode Lock, but didn't see anything there that rung any bells.
resolved Horror Comic about a house that lures Print Comic
A comic whose first half is about a house that lures people from the neighborhood inside in various ways.

The other half is the backstory in which a woman's child is buried up to his waist in the cemetery and eaten by grave worms so she gives up her soul in a magic ritual and gives birth to a horde of monsters that go out and cease the people of the town.
resolved Comic about a superhero employment agency Print Comic
There was a comic from the mid-90s or earlier about a organization that recruits superheroes and then sends them out on various missions; it was published in the early 90s (or earlier), featured a Sexy Secretary / Girl Friday named Nicole, and had a tone that varied between dramatic and humorous.
Edited by Luke_The_Greatresolved World's Finest issue with Superman and Batman robots Print Comic
Tomato in the Mirror has an entry "In a World's Finest issue, Superman and Batman, after being put through a gauntlet of trials especially designed to mess with their heads, reveal their secret identities, and then ask to be destroyed. Turns out that these were actually robots meant to perfectly emulate the two heroes, and realize that they're just imperfect copies because they didn't have either hero's mental fortitude."
Does anyone know which issue this was? I tried looking up Superman robot and Batman robot appearances and couldn't find it.
resolved A comic from "Thargs future shocks" collection Print Comic
I'm looking for a short comic from the Thargs future shocks whose polot goes like this:
A pair of art thieves visit a gallery to find the most valuable piece to steal. They settle on a weird painting that is contained behind very thick bars. They saw through the bars to get at it, but instantly disappear. The next morning the curator takes a new group of tourists through the exposition, explaining that the painting is actually alive and the bars are not meant to protect the painting from people, but to protect people from the painting. The thieves are seen being tortured in Hell inside the painting.
resolved Marvel comics Print Comic
I'm looking for one maybe two series of marvel comics since I'm not sure if what I remember is from one series or not. For the sake of this search I'm treating it as two different works.
The first one I'm looking for had Red Skull use the infinity stones to depower all heroes forcing Iron man to make powered armor. I think this also includes Red Skull making giant version of super villains
The other series had both Dr. Doom and Dr. Strange use the power of the eyes of some eldritch abomination. In the end Doom fused with several villains including Thanos while Strange combined the heroes into a giant version of Groot
resolved dark comedy serial killer comic Print Comic
I think it was originally a French comic translated to English, I don't know when it was published but I read it sometime after 2020 and the art style definitely wasn't pre-2000. It was about this insane kid with an imaginary friend, who had killed his parent(s) and became on a classmate after she killed a monster in self-defense not realizing she was terrified of him. There was this one story about a group of orphans led by this mysterious masked kid who took the girl in after she ran away, with it being revealed that the serial killer kid was the masked leader at the end of the story. It was all played for dark humor and the art style was that generic kid/teen style instead of anything more related to horror

Hi, I'm looking for a comic strip that I used to read back in the day. It was sort of similar to Garfield; The main cast is a man with glasses, but he has two pets: A large dog and a small cat (might have been Siamese?), and I think everyone could actually understand and speak to them like they were human. It was another slice of life comic, so no particular strips come to mind other than one where I think the cat gets back at his owner by putting hair loss cream in his shampoo?
