4-6Vordak the Incomprehensible series.
Illustrated by
John Martin.
In his third volume, supervillain Vordak's latest attempt to rule the world involves cloning himself an heir to help rule his evil empire, but it turns out neither is evil enough to succeed. The story's single-note joke is successful, bulked up by humorous drawings, faux screenshots, and newspaper articles, as well as narrative asides that break the fourth wall.
