Uncle Fester

Few names in pop culture carry quite the ghoulish charm of Uncle Fester, who made his comics debut in 1965's Monster Rally during the height of the Silver Age. Over a surprisingly long publishing span stretching all the way to 2016, this peculiar figure has turned up in IDW's pages alongside some genuinely legendary company — The Spirit, Mickey Mouse, and even comics luminaries like Jack Kirby and Walt Disney share his world. His appearances in The Comic Book History of Comics and Comic Book Comics suggest he's as much a piece of comics culture as a character within it, a Silver Age curiosity with staying power worth tracking down.
