Belushis first and most well-known appearance isMarvel Team-Up #74by Chris Claremont and Bob Hall, published in 1978.

Im certain that Chris Claremont came up with that concept first and then wrote the entire story around it.

It would have to be fake.

If any Murray brother is worthy, its definitely Brian Doyle.

Here, the two are more blatantly supposed to be the Blues Brothers.

Those werent the only Blues Brothers knockoffs to show up in Marvel.

First appearing inDoctor Who Magazine #147in 1989, John Carnell and Andy Lanning gave us the Sleeze Brothers.

This was part of Marvels Epic imprint.

Back in the 80s and early 90s, there was a comic series calledThe Badger.

The cover sets the stage by having the Badger go one-on-one with Bruce Lee.

As we later discover, it isnt Colonel Parker but Colonel Sanders.

Despite being unarmed, Bruce Lee defeats the samurai and knocks him out.

Cornered, the Colonel admits that hes actually German and not even a real colonel.

To Badgers horror, Elvis puts on a pair of glasses and admits to being just an ambulance driver.

Badger checks the samurais wallet and sees that he isnt the actual guy either.

Immediately, he screams, GODDAMN LANIER LUTEFISK!

This story takes a darker look at the concept, but there is one great moment of hope.

Years later, wed see him as an old man.

Maybe not the best-looking dude, but he was alive and victorious.

Comic books are great sometimes.

That brings us to the last leg of the tour.

2011sGhostbusters #1by Erik Burnham and Dan Schoening dives into something unsaid about the first movie.

His mind summoned that giant hellbeast, which went on a rampage and nearly destroyed New York.

More than any ghosts, this should haunt him after the fact.

Then the ghost of Jake Blues appears to him.

Hes never mentioned by name, but its obviously him and its perfect.

Who better to accompany a classic Dan Aykroyd character than Jake Blues?

He comforts and guides him, explaining that by thinking about Stay-Puft, he did a good thing.

Further vindication for Ray comes when hes captured by another follower of Gozer named Idulnas.

Ray succeeds, recreates Stay-Puft and the giant monster is rather easily taken care of.

Also, the way Jake keeps calling Ray brother is a nice touch.

Its fitting that Belushi would make so many random appearances in comics over the years.

Comics are a home for legends and thats what John Belushi was.

This isnt the funniest sketch out there, but Belushis Hulk livens it up.
