Tubs

Tubs is a supporting character in Marvel's mid-century teen comedy comics, appearing alongside Patsy Walker, Hedy Wolfe, and Buzz Baxter in lighthearted slice-of-life stories across titles like Patsy and Her Pals and Patsy and Hedy.

A lovable fixture of Marvel's mid-century teen comedy scene, Tubs made their Golden Age debut in 1947 and stuck around for a remarkable sixteen years — a testament to the genuine warmth these lighthearted series inspired in their readers. Popping up most frequently across Patsy and Her Pals, Miss America, and Patsy and Hedy, Tubs shares the page with the likes of Patsy Walker, Hedy Wolfe, and Buzz Baxter, rubbing elbows with some of the most charming recurring characters in Marvel's pre-superhero era. With 37 catalog appearances spanning from the Golden Age well into the early 1960s, this is exactly the kind of enduring supporting player that made those breezy teen titles such a delight — and a wonderful discovery for collectors digging into the rich, often-overlooked human side of Marvel's history.
