Iggy Nutmeg

Iggy Nutmeg is a member of the Nutmeg family — the human household shared with Heathcliff the cat — appearing alongside Grandpa, Grandma, Sonja, and the dog Spike in Marvel's Star Comics funny-animal titles aimed at younger readers.

A fixture of Marvel's cheerful Star Comics imprint, Iggy Nutmeg stepped onto the page in 1984 alongside the irrepressible Heathcliff and the rest of the Nutmeg household — Grandpa, Grandma, Sonja, and the ever-present Spike. Born in the Bronze Age and persisting across a remarkable 26 years of funny-animal comics, Iggy found a home in titles like Heathcliff, Star Comics Magazine, and Heathcliff's Funhouse — a testament to the enduring warmth of that corner of the Marvel universe. With 42 catalog appearances, this is a character who quietly outlasted trends, making them a rewarding discovery for anyone with a soft spot for the lighter, laugh-filled side of comics history.
