I fucking agree.

I have one issue of that original run of Human Fly that happened to be in a stack of comics I bought from a friend in the mid-80s. And I'm going to bet that that's one more issue than anyone else here owns.

It's easy (hey!) to dismiss NWA as cartoon-ish, too braggadocious to take seriously. But that certainly was not the case at the time.
