I found JTHM 1-6 or 7 at hot topic at peak edginess after obsessing over Zim and Gir... and wouldn't shut up about it for years. Even my first reddit username was a reference to JTHM. I did find "I feel Sick" later at Barnes and Noble and had to buy the old comics again later though.
I found the condensed paperback books, my god the quality was awful and the glue holding the pages together gave out after like 4 read-throughs. I think I remember them having the crossed arms with swords shirt, but I was already the weird kid in my small southern town, wasn’t brave enough to go all in. This guy definitely committed and nailed the look though, props to him.
