    The Heap is the name of several fictional comic book muck-monsters, the original of which first appeared in Hillman Periodicals' Air Fighters Comics #3 (Dec. 1942), during the period fans and historians call the Golden Age of Comic Books. The character was created by writer Harry Stein and artist Mort Leav, and revived in the 1980s by Eclipse Comics.

    Similar but unrelated characters appeared in comics stories published by Skywald in the 1970s and Image Comics in the 1990s.

    Publication history

    Hillman

    Following its debut Air Fighters Comics #3 (cover-dated Dec. 1942), the Heap reappeared as a guest character sporadically in that title. With its fourth appearance, in the by-then re-titled Airboy Comics vol. 3, #9 (Oct. 1946), it became the star of a backup feature. That feature continued until the final issue, vol. 10, #4 (May 1953). Other artists associated with Hillman's Heap include Jack Abel, Paul Reinman, and Ernie Schroeder.

    In 1986, Eclipse Comics, having acquired rights to some Hillman characters, began publishing a new Airboy comic with the Heap as a supporting character. The Heap also appeared in the Eclipse title The New Wave, where the creature was considered by some members of that group to be a member. Eclipse Comics went bankrupt and ceased operations in the 1990s. Image Comics purchased the Eclipse assets, including the Heap.

    Stupid People

    by: Hope 7

    Don't cry baby
    It's no big deal
    It's not like it really matters
    How I feel
    I knew that you would break my heart
    I knew it right from the start
    But I wouldn't listen to a thing
    CHORUS
    How could I have been a fool
    To put my trust in you
    And how did I get here
    Drowning in your tears
    When you were nowhere near
    I can't get mad at you
    Over what you put me through
    It's what stupid people do
    Don't say maybe
    'Cause that won't do
    Here to take on tomorrow
    It's nothing new
    I heard you went around the block
    Making all your frequent stops
    But I wouldn't listen to a thing
    CHORUS
    It's what stupid do
    Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
    Stupid people do
    Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
    Yeah Yeah Yeah
    I don't need your sympathy
    So get used to never seeing me ...dork
    Don't' cry baby, it's no big deal
    CHORUS
    Stupid people do
    I don't need your sympathy
