...even if he was dressed up as a character never seen on the show!
That’s the only comic book I know of where Aykroyd played himself, but don't forget another of his SNL characters appeared in comics: Beldar Conehead! He's from France.

Ghostbusters' Dr. Ray Stantz? He's in comics, too! Just...not always with actor likeness approval.

The Blues Brothers (Aykroyd and John Belushi) never got their own comic book, but a suspiciously similar pair appeared in the Marvel Universe starting with this annual:

One last sighting — sort of! — of Aykroyd in comical books: his bit part in the Raiders of the Lost Ark sequel, Indiana Jones and The One Where They Had to Eat Monkey Brains!
