SOLVED: Hercules In New York? [s]

[Peter]

This was a book of comics in black and white (with a color cover, possible a photo of clay statues of Hercules as he looked in the strip?), chronicling the adventures of Hercules in modern-day New York City. I believe that at least some of the strips originally appeared in National Lampoon in the mid-to-late 1980s or possibly early 1990s. They were in black and white, with a deliberately crude style, and were EXTREMELY funny.

I should emphasize that the book had nothing to do with the Schwarzenegger movie, and that since I haven't been able to find the book anywhere online, my guess at the name of the book must be wrong.

The book was quite large, a paperback a bit larger than comic-book size. The author/artist usually put that the strip was by "Mister" (last name) in each strip, as I recall. Hercules worked as a bike messenger, mistook a subway train for a monster and "killed" it, accidentally killed his psychiatrist and carried off his receptionist Sabine-style, etc. etc. Not for children, obviously.

I can't believe that I can't find it online anywhere!

And I just found it: Hercules Amongst the North Americans.
