The Genius Lanny Poffo by John CrowtherMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
As a teen World Wrestling Federation fan, my interest in that franchise overlapped Poffo's presence: 1985–1994. I was entertained by his flamboyant antics and liked rooting for him as an underdog. I had really moved on to other characters when he became “The Genius” and would write and recite an original poem before the match. This comix biography charts his career under the tutelage of trainer and father Angelo Poffo in a career paralleling is even more flamboyant brother "Macho Man" Randy Savage. It is very self-serving and self-glorifying which really doesn't fit the form of his undercard career.
