Bunsen Bunny

Bunsen Bunny inhabits Marvel's funny-animal universe, the gleefully absurdist world of Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham, populated by animal parodies of familiar Marvel figures. A supporting character in that comic's debut issue, Bunsen exists among punny cast members like J. Jonah Jackal.

Hatched in the gleefully absurdist world of Marvel's Bronze Age funny-animal universe, Bunsen Bunny made their debut in the very first issue of Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham back in 1985, courtesy of creators Steve Skeates and Mark Armstrong. That inaugural issue launched one of Marvel's most wonderfully weird corners, and Bunsen has been part of that zany fabric ever since — sharing pages across 18 appearances with the likes of Spider-Ham, J. Jonah Jackal, and the rest of that punny, pun-stuffed cast. With a presence stretching a remarkable 25 years from 1985 to 2010, this is a character who clearly found a devoted audience among fans who love their superhero comics with a side of cartoon chaos. If you've ever wanted to dive into Marvel's most delightfully offbeat imprint, Bunsen Bunny is a fine reason to start at issue one.
