There was a "Johnny Redbeard" character that popped up in a book I looked through a long time ago. I recall being disappointed that the creator went that route...

If you're going for "JB" in comics, you shouldn't forget Booster Cogburn, ws powerfully drawn by Jack Kirby and Alfredo Alcala. (At least, I read that it was in part a reference to JB)

That's pretty lame, not to mention hypocritical considering the guys who wrote it.

The Oni Color Special that is. Like, here's our story pay off, you need to have read about the comics industry for years and hold a negative opinion about someone you've never met to enjoy it. New readers to comics are welcome!!! That's Cerebus lame levels.

Looks more like Mark Bagley to me.

I forgot about that tip of the hat. I'll assume Bagley just finished reading that Modern Masters before drawing the story.

Yeah, that's what I referring to above. Regardless of whether anyone agrees with the intent, etc, I think it has to be said that Kirby was pretty good at composing a "dis".
I mean, I'm a HUGE fan of Roy Thomas, but Kirby coming up with "House Roy" is, I think, blisteringly witty.

Never knew that the Big Belly Burger Boy was Helfer. I was sure it was (a stouter version of) JB also.

Parody versions of Stan Lee, Jim Shooter, JB, Chris Claremont (and I believe Dave Cockrum also) showed up in issues #2-3 of 1982's E-Man series from First Comics... (Issue #1 has the faux Hostess Twinkie ad by JB featuring Rog-2000).
