The Trouble with Girls is a satirical action series starring Lester Girls, who wants to be simply an "average guy" with a dead-end job, a plain wife, and no adventures more exciting than a good night's sleep, but Lester can't go for a drive without terrorists launching missiles at him, or walk into one of his many mansions without a beautiful, talented, curvaceous woman reposing half-dressed on his bed. Wealth, adventure, sexual magnetism, dashing good looks, and the savoir faire of a Hollywood action hero are what he calls "the curse of Girls".[2]
Publication history
Malibu Comics published volume one (#1–14 and Annual #1) in 1987 and 1988, the first six issues under its "Malibu Comics" imprint, and the remainder under its Eternity Comics imprint. In 1989, Comico launched volume two (#1–4), which then returned to Malibu and the "Eternity" imprint[3] for issues #5–23 and a Christmas Special. During volume two's run, Malibu also brought out related Lester Girls, Apache Dick, Lizard Lady, and Classic Girls (reprinting v1 #1–4) miniseries. In 1993, Marvel's Epic Comics imprint revived the series under its adult-oriented Heavy Hitters branding; there, Epic published a four-issue Trouble with Girls miniseries called The Trouble With Girls: Night of the Lizard, with art by Bret Blevins and Al Williamson, as well as a Lester Girls short story in the 1993 Heavy Hitters Annual.[1]
Collected editions
The first fourteen issues of The Trouble with Girls were reissued in two volumes by Checker Book Publishing Group in 2006.[4] Currently, The Trouble with Girls is available digitally exclusively through Devil's Due Digital.
