Billy Ray CyrusBriefly in the mid-90's Marvel comics introduced a new line of comic series dubbed Marvel Music, which were sometimes autobiographical and other times entirely made up shit that could never happen in a million years featuring a musician. As you can see by the comically mustachioed knight charging towards our protagonist (who looks pulled straight from a Harlequin romance novel) that this particular comic falls into the latter.
No doubt a biographical comic that focused on Billy Ray Cyrus's life would be boring as hell, so to spice it up Marvel decided to essentially do a comic book based on an episode of Scooby Doo. Except replace Billy Ray Cyrus with Scooby Doo. So the book is split up into two stories: the first involves two kids, a ghost, a bunch of Native Americans doing a weird sort of reenactment and a bear. I'm not even going to bother describing the actual story to you because it is a convoluted waste of time.
However the first story pales in comparison to the WTF factor of story number two that involves Billy Ray Cyrus finding two kids stowed away on his tour bus (ummm...why!?) and then they go through a "magical fog" only to reappear in medieval times. Here let me give that a moment to sink in....
....Still with me? Okay so after that the story spirals from :sheer awfulness" to "seriously who the fuck actually wrote this and did any editors take the time to read it".. After meeting a princess the king wants Billy Ray Cyrus to slay a dragon. Which he agrees to do, but then the castle is attacked! Luckily the tour bus is equipped with the lasers to his show...because that's what they use to defeat the attackers! That's right he used harmless laser lights as real lasers. Anyway not to spoil anything (seeing as most of you have no doubt stopped caring), but the dragon is just a smoky cave and Billy Ray and the kids make it safely back to the present just in time for the concert. How? After reading all that do you really need a rational explanation?
