Spike is a Dark Horse Comics character appearing in animated-style stories alongside Droopy, Screwball Squirrel, and other classic cartoon personalities. He debuted in the 1995 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive anthology and continued in titles like Droopy and Screwball Squirrel.

Bursting onto the scene in 1995 courtesy of creators Greg Vest, Peet Janes, and Neil Vokes, Spike is a Dark Horse Comics character who made his debut in the pages of San Diego Comic Con Comics #4 — one of those wonderfully offbeat convention exclusives that collectors love to track down. His world is a lively, animated-flavored one, sharing panels with a colorful cast including Droopy, Red, Wolf, Meathead, and Screwball Squirrel across titles like Droopy and Screwball Squirrel. With only five catalog appearances, Spike is a compact, curiosity-worthy find for fans of Dark Horse's more playful, cartoon-inspired corner of the Modern Age — the kind of character that rewards the dedicated digger.
