Hey, the [developmentally disabled] dude on L.A. Law and the villain in Darkman was also “Dr. Giggles.” VERSATILITY, BABY.

A lot of movie ads in comics are for touchstone films that, like the comics themselves, define an era. Then there are times when you get a one-sheet for an ancient Nicole Kidman movie. Or this. The Gielgudian chops of Larry Drake could truly stretch to unmeasurable lengths.

Dr. Giggles actually had a comic book adaptation from Dark Horse (We produced it, what the hell…). I solemnly vow, on a stack of Ditko/Lee Amazing Spider-Man comics, to one day review it here. “A new prescription for terror” indeed.
