Uncle Uriah Grunge

A quirky piece of Bronze Age Americana, Uncle Uriah Grunge made his debut in AC Comics' Fun Comics #1 in 1980, courtesy of creator Bill Black. With only a handful of catalogued appearances spread across Captain Paragon and the Sentinels of Justice, FemForce, and Fun Comics, he's a rare find — the kind of offbeat supporting character who gives AC's indie universe its distinctive, lived-in charm. He shares his pages with a colorful roster including Scarlet Scorpion, Joan Wayne, and Harry Diamond, the sort of eclectic company that makes digging through AC's Bronze Age output such a rewarding treasure hunt for collectors who love the road less traveled.
