Peter
Peter is the biblical Apostle Peter, one of the twelve disciples of Jesus Christ. A fisherman called to follow Jesus, he became a foundational figure of early Christianity and appears across faith-based comics adaptations spanning the New Testament narrative.
One of the most ancient figures to find a home in American comics, Peter made his print debut in the pages of Judge back in 1906 β a Platinum Age appearance that places him among the earliest characters in the entire medium's history. His story has proven remarkably enduring, with appearances stretching across an extraordinary 104 years through titles like The Life of Christ Visualized and The Action Bible, sharing those pages with figures including Jesus Christ, Matthew, Joseph, and Andrew. Few characters can claim a journey through comics history quite this long, from the dawn of the art form well into the modern era.
