Big Spike

Debuting in the pages of Tom & Jerry Comics #79 in 1951, Big Spike is a Golden Age Dell Comics creation brought to life by the talented Harvey Eisenberg, one of the most celebrated artists in the world of funny-animal comics. Over a remarkable thirty-year run stretching into 1981, this character carved out a steady presence across beloved Dell and Gold Key titles like Tom & Jerry Comics, M.G.M.'s Mouse Musketeers, and Golden Comics Digest, sharing panels with a who's-who of classic animated-style stars including Droopy, Barney Bear, and Tom himself. With 60 catalogued appearances and at least one collector-recognized key issue to their name, Big Spike is a rewarding discovery for fans who love the warm, humor-filled world of mid-century funny-animal comics at their very best.
