Superkernel: The Bonus Material
There was a ton of Superkernel stuff that I scanned that just didn't fit anywhere in our 4 part look at the Corn of Steel, so let's cram it all into one post and call it a bonus!
First let's discuss Superbucks-
Superbucks were printed on the back of certain issues of "Superkernel Comics" and were redeemable for all sorts of Superkernel Swag and some other junk as well...
Every issue of "Superkernel Comics" included two pages of 'Superkernel's Amazin' Games.' These were printed on the opposite sides of a mini-poster centerfold of one of the Cornville cast, so most of the comics I own are missing them. I tore those posters out and hung them on my wall until they had disintegrated into nothingness. These four pages are all that remain-
If the main Superkernel story ran short of eight pages, then a one page gag strip would take up the slack. The Space-Niks usually appeared on the game pages in a two or three panel strip, but here they graduate to the big time-
Besides the one-page gags, C.C Ghoul & The Gang also made occasional appearances in the main Superkernel story. It was like when the cast of Scooby-Doo would show up on Dynomutt-

Wow, thanks for posting all this info! I used to have a bunch of Superkernel comics back in the day. I don't know what happened to them; my mom insists she didn't throw them out. And finding any information about them online is very difficult. So I really appreciate all the work you did scanning the pages and telling us as much as you know about it! I'm glad someone else remembers him and cared enough to share this.
(And, yes, I do realize these posts are from 12 years ago, which make it all the more astonishing that I was able to find this in a Google search. Your blog from back then is apparently still the top source for information on this comic. So thanks again! I hope you'll see this.) :)
