Gobmouche

Gobmouche is one half of an eccentric duo alongside Cholly, created by Arthur Suydam for Marvel's Epic imprint. The pair inhabit a quirky, creator-driven fantasy world, with Gobmouche serving as the oddball counterpart in their shared offbeat adventures.

Arthur Suydam brought Gobmouche to life in the pages of Epic #5 in 1984, a late Bronze Age debut that planted this curious character squarely in the fertile, creator-driven soil of the era's alternative comics scene. With a mere handful of catalogued appearances spread across USA Magazine, Epic, and the delightfully titled Cholly & Gobmouche, Gobmouche is clearly one half of an offbeat duo, sharing adventures with Cholly and occasionally rubbing elbows with Abraham Stone. Small in footprint but rich in personality — Suydam's distinctive artistic vision guarantees that — Gobmouche is exactly the kind of hidden gem that rewards the collector willing to dig a little deeper into the margins of 1980s comics history.
