I recently bought a copy of the
"Rock n' Roll" comics featuring Paula Abdul, which I thought would parodize her though it's just a mediocre bio. Decent, though would've been cool if they done one for Deb. (Unfortunately, never was made). Though according to Wiki, it had been sued by New Kids On The Block and Motley Crue since they were unauthorized.
It mentions that she choreographed Deb's "Shake Your Love" video, though Deb wasn't caricatured. The caricature of Paula was so & so, but still recognizable.
Here's the comment from the
Deb.org BTL archives...Note: It was Rock & Roll Vixens, might've been a special issue or something separate
ROCK N' ROLL VIXENS COMIC

Rock'n'Roll Comics has written a comic story about lady superheroes. They are:
Samantha Fox, Madonna, Paula Abdul and Debbie Gibson. Debbie being the only
character with any sort of values and decency, is the only one wearing
anything resembling normal clothing; the rest are wearing revealing costumes.
Their mission is to rescue Eddie Van Halen from the evil Ninja Monsters. All
the the ladies have superpowers, i.e. Paula has super speed. Debbie has very
limited powers. She is treated like a little kid who knows nothing, i.e.
"Remember Your Curfew", and has lines like "It's a man", when they rescue
Eddie. Toward the end Debbie, during the fight with the Ninjas, copies Paula's
superspeed, and goes so fast that her clothes burn off. The story ends with
all the heros around Debbie who is in her heart pattern underpants.
As a spoof, I've seen better. The art is all done in Pencil, no color. The
characters don't look a lot like their living counterparts. To put it simply,
its not worth the three bucks.

... eh,doesn't sound interesting and wonnder if it was written by Seth McFarlane (the description of how Deb is treated and the character sounds close to Meg Griffin of "Family Guy")
The Paula issue wasn't anything special (maybe for hardcore fans, and an actual bio would be better), though could've gotten another Disney comic or something else...
BTW, I'm not selling nor trading it.
Any opinions about the infamous "Rock & Roll Vixens" comic? Honestly, I wouldn't buy it, though can't find any scans from it...
