So you think you’ve heard of every story and series in the Marvel Universe, do you? Just wait until you see what happens to one of its most unfortunate heroes.Mort Graves, slacker from Mistake Beach, Long Island, takes his dad’s refurbished Studebaker out for a joyride to impress his crush, Kimberly Dimenmein. Kimberly is currently dating a jock named Lance Boyle with an Improbably Cool Car who suggests to Mort that they race to see who gets the girl, just past the train tracks as the finish line. The one thing Mort counted on, was that the car was nearly finished…Except for the brakes.Mort ends up getting caught in the middle of an oncoming train and sent directly to the Netherworld, dead, and decapitated on top of that! He meets with his eventual likeminded mentor, Teen Death, the son of Death Himself. He explains that Heaven is closed for repairs and that Hell has too many sinners, so he sends Mort back to where he was before on a mission to haunt his family and other friends as a incorporeal being, but this is a tricky job, as nobody is scared of him and his family hates his guts after pulling a dumb stunt to get himself killed.Mort’s friends, Slick and Weirdo, hatch a plan to get themselves famous, and Mort inadvertently aides them in their homemade band Positive Feedback, along with other band members Kimberly, and Maureen, the girl who wants Mort on the same level as the flip-flopping former, who has seemingly decided that she loved him more than ever. What’s an angsty dead youth to do?The black Horror Comedy miniseries ran for 4 issues from December 1993 to March 1994, after a pushback from a previously announced September. Written by Larry Hama of G.I. Joe fame, and illustrated by Gary Hallgren from Crazy Magazine, it was originally intended as a movie, but was rewritten to format as a short-run comic in the hopes it would be picked up by a studio for good (and of 2023 it still hasn’t, even though test footage is known to exist and press announcements stating production was moving forward. It never did.)Not to be confused with Discworld’s Mort, which was also optioned to be a film. Or the similarly named Mort the Soul Surfer from Super Paint Brawl. Or Rick and Morty. Or the character from Madagascar. It’s happened before. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Mort the Dead Teenager (Comic Book) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The club Positive Feedback plays at in the third issue is called ABCD’s, is stationed in New York, and was once very popular. It’s pretty obvious the comic is alluding to CBGB in NYC. At Positive Feedback’s gig at ABCD’s, Mort is suddenly launched into the performance as special effects. He then combusts into white ectoplasm, all while exclaiming “Ack!� as slimy versions of himself of various sizes fly around the stage. | |

Shout-Out Theme Naming: A rather obscure reference to a novel that promotes eugenics of all things is found in the Kalikak brothers and sister, with the name borrowed from the title of The Kalikak Family, which is quite dark for a comedy to reference. | |

Black Comedy | |
| Mort the Dead Teenager (Comic Book) / int_222dc873 | comment |
Black Comedy: As one might expect from a light-hearted series about a teenager becoming a ghost after the accident that killed him, there are plenty of morbid gags to go around. Mort's character portrait below the Marvel Comics banner depicts his open-casket corpse, which has its state of decay advance each issue until his remains are skeletonized by the cover of the final issue. A lot of the deceased teenagers in the afterlife are shown to have gotten themselves killed by doing dangerously stupid things, like lighting a bunch of explosives at once just to see what happens and thinking they're cool to drive after engaging in underage drinking. Mort isn't pleased to see how cheap his family was in preparing his funeral, and is especially incensed that his mother is only mourning that he died without clean underwear, while his dad is more upset about his Studebaker being destroyed than he is at his son's death. At one point, Mort tries to haunt a horror film by taking up the role of slasher villain and using a chainsaw to dismember and slaughter the cast, only to see that the audience isn't frightened due to being desensitized by the amount of violence there is in the media already. | |

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: If Mort simply had not taken his dad's car to impress Kimberly, none of the comic would have even happened. Teen Death was well aware of the fact, and Mort was to some degree. However, it's all thrown out the window with the All Just a Dream cyclical loop fakeout. | |

The Unreveal: One of the many pieces of incriminating info on Mort Kyle has is a photo of Mort engaging in a “little discretion�, which is totally unknown to the reader due to the framing of characters, but is very embarrassing for Mort. Mort’s older sister Cyndi even has dirt on her, which was almost explicitly described by their dad to which she threatens to kill him if he slips even a little bit of info about it. | |

Our Ghosts Are Different: Mort himself is a ghost, but he can hold a somewhat physical form. To make up for it, he can make himself invisible and intangible to spy on his friends, crush, and help out with Postitive Feedback. Mort himself is also entirely comprised of ectoplasm, from his clothes to hair, similarly to how The Awesome Slapstick's title character is made of "electroplasm". | |

Adaptational Intelligence | |
| Mort the Dead Teenager (Comic Book) / int_72455542 | comment |
Adaptational Intelligence: In the officially released description for the shelved movie, it is noted that instead of Mort being a victim of circumstance having no place in Heaven or Hell to go, he instead convinces Teen Death to bring him to the world of the living to win back the heart of Kimberly. Nowhere in the original comic does Mort attempt to win the heart of Kimberly post-death. He’s simply enchanted and infatuated by her, and despite her poetry and statements that she loves him, it’s more of a case of her getting “caught in the moment� and unintentionally causing trouble for her and the rest of the Positive Feedback team. It is ALSO noted that in the Official Handbook, Mort’s intelligence stat is listed as 1, which is the lowest possible for that stat. | |

Back from the Dead | |
| Mort the Dead Teenager (Comic Book) / int_8967e17f | comment |
Back from the Dead: Mort comes back as a ghostly being after his unceremonious demise. In the final issue, Mort is brought back to life in bed as he is sent back to the day of his death in an attempt to fix his mistakes and not get killed. He brushes the events that had happened before as a wacky dream and moves forward with his joyride, possibly leading him to die another time. | |

Cosmic Plaything | |

Cosmic Plaything: Mort gets toyed with pretty hard during the duration of the entire comic, to getting killed for his hubris, to his family hating him for not passing on peacefully, to even the FORCES OF DEATH using him as a tool to get the message across. His three possible futures aren't great either, with each of them resulting in some sort of bizarre unfortunate demise (or in the case of the first shown, he enters a coma and never awakens). | |

A lot of the deceased teenagers in the afterlife are shown to have gotten themselves killed by doing dangerously stupid things, like lighting a bunch of explosives at once just to see what happens and thinking they're cool to drive after engaging in underage drinking. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Mort the Dead Teenager (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Weirdo quotes Ghost Rider when he threatens Mort with ensuring Positive Feedback’s performance at ABCD’s doesn’t have any problems. ABCD's itself is a reference to the CBGB club in New York City, where bands like Talking Heads, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, and Hama and Hallgren's own band The K-Otics have played. The last one is even memorialized in the third issue as a band playing at the club! In the first issue just before Mort is about to be sent back to Mistake Beach, a newly-killed group of kids in a bus, along with a crashed sports car arrive as a rush-in. The bus driver? Otto Mann, and one of the kids? Bart Simpson. In the opening page to the final issue, Mort crashes Teen Death’s gaming session of a somewhat familiar platformer where you can get “lots of lives�. A lot of small details in the page are usually missed upon a first-time read, like the headstone Teen Death leans against as a back to his chair resembles the one made for James Dean. Mort’s family would rather watch Ghost (1990) than deal with an actual ghost in their house. Lance insults Mort's ride, saying the last time he saw a Studebaker, Fozzie Bear was driving it. The exchange then leads to the race that ends Mort's life. The aging psychologist hired to aide the students of Mistake Beach High with the death of Mort is named Dr. Caligari. The band playing before Positive Feedback at ABCD's is named Bombs and Hoses, in reference to Guns N' Roses. The members even look like the members of Roses circa 1993. Rock and Roll Purgatory features many lyrical music references, burning airplanes, and caricatures of Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and the victims of The Day The Music Died. At Mort’s house, it’s even shown that the family has Elvis merchandise near the front door and couch, and a promotional “Bludmeister� mirror in the foyer. The Babylon Express is named after the Babylon Branch rail line, notable for having stations in Babylon, New York, and Amityville, where a famous haunting had happened several years before the comic occurs... It could be speculated that Mistake Beach is located in Suffolk County, as Babylon Station is located there. Maureen herself could be seen entirely as a take on Ringo Starr's first wife Mo Starkey, from the black hair to proficiency in rock music.note And like her inspiration, Maureen's nickname from the boys is, you guessed it, Mo. This exchange from Issue 3. | |
