International Enquisitor
This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.
The International Enquisitor is a tabloid newspaper featured in the Game Boy comic series, starting with its second issue "It's a Small World After All". An insert in the middle or the end of the issues, the Enquisitor's headlines are often absurd and sensationalized in nature, which hides the fact that its reporting on the event of the stories is mostly accurate. The issues are illustrated with a mix of hand-drawn illustrations and edited photos of Valiant Comics staff. It has cover price of 75¢.
The Enquisitor fills the role of the interstitial gag pages featured in the other Nintendo Comic System titles.
