Fender

Fender burst onto the scene in 1992's Toxic Crusaders #1, a Copper/Modern Age creation from the imaginative pairing of writer Simon Furman and artist Derek Yaniger, published under Marvel's banner. Sharing pages with a wonderfully offbeat roster — Toxie, No-Zone, Major Disaster, Dr. Bender, and Melvin Junko — Fender inhabits one of comics' more gloriously irreverent corners, rooted in the anarchic, pop-culture-savvy spirit of the early '90s. With appearances stretching across roughly fifteen years and into Lloyd Kaufman Presents The Toxic Avenger and Other Tromatic Tales, this character's presence threads through a surprisingly durable slice of Marvel's more unconventional output. A modest appearance count makes every issue count, making Fender a genuine find for collectors who love digging into the quirkier edges of the era.
