Batt Burdock

Batt Burdock swooped onto the funny-animal comics scene in 1986, a Copper Age creation born straight out of Marvel's gleefully absurdist Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham universe. Crafted by Steve Skeates and Mark Armstrong, this character shares a wonderfully zany corner of comics with the likes of Peter Porker, Deerdevil, and Bunsen Bunny — a roster that tells you everything about the irreverent, pun-happy world they inhabit. With only three catalog appearances, Batt Burdock is a genuine deep-cut rarity, the kind of obscure gem that makes long-box digging so rewarding for collectors who love Marvel's wilder, more playful side.
