Upton Adam Stray

Upton Adam Stray made his debut in the very first issue of Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham back in 1985, stepping onto the scene during the Bronze Age as part of Marvel's wonderfully absurdist funny-animal corner of the universe. Created by Steve Skeates and Mark Armstrong, he's a recurring presence across a surprisingly long stretch of comics history — nearly 25 years — keeping colorful company alongside Spider-Ham, Bunsen Bunny, and the irascible J. Jonah Jackal. With 18 catalog appearances rooted in one of Marvel's most delightfully offbeat series, Upton Adam Stray is a charming piece of comics history for anyone who loves the weird, warm edges of the Marvel universe.
