Masterpiece Comics also contains a few pages of the reader questions seen in some comic books. While the questions and answers are at times tongue-in-cheek, Sikoryak uses them to not only pay tribute to the comic artists who created the characters he uses but to also give background or additional information on the literary tales in which they appear.
In an era in which comics or graphic novels are increasingly aimed at an adult audience, Masterpiece Comics strikes a unique balance. It is a near perfect parody of the comic genre itself while at the same time spreading classic literature. In so doing, Sikoryak has produced a modern comics tour de force.
