The RAMONES: "I Wanna Be Sedated" video - what comics are shown?

[comicparadox]

So, as a late-blooming Ramones fan, I recently saw for the first time the official video for "I Wanna Be Sedated". There are 3 or 4 comics on the table, Dee Dee is reading them as the video progresses. One is an X-Men cover, with a yellow background but I can't make out what the issue is. I can't even begin to identify the others.

 

Knowing the fund of esoteric knowledge on the Boards, I humbly ask: What are the comics on the video?

 

Thanks in advance.

The music video was released in 1988 so it was probably filmed probably in late '87 into '88.

 

It definitely looks like it is a yellow lettering with red borders logo.

 

The closest I'd guess is it's Uncanny #237.

 

I cannot tell the other books without a better quality video.

I also came up with 237. The positioning of the dark feet against the light background right below the logo, and the purple text along the bottom, and the greenish swoop of wolverine's elbow right next to the spidey-upc-logo all seem to fit.

Gotta love the boards! I agree that it's likely X-Men 237. No clue about the others, though.

I found a slightly higher quality copy of the video here:

 

 

It's 480p instead of 360p.

 

The second comic he reads is also an issue of X-Men. I couldn't tell what issue exactly, but maybe #227? It can be seen lying on the table for the first 35 seconds or so of the video.

Courtney love is supposed to be in the video somewhere too. I think that's her at around 2:07 on the left, looks like she's being carried by a conehead.

Wish we could still ask DeeDee,not that he would likely remember.

Next time Marky comes through town I'll ask if he knows haha.

(He and the band stay at a friends cottage).

Very cool,fun thread.

I'm old. I remember the Ramones from the days of CBGB and my father not wanting to go to the Bowery to see them. I was only 10. They used to play with Blondie and The Talking Heads.
