Willy DuWitt

Willy DuWitt is a young human who becomes entangled in the sci-fi adventures of Captain Bucky O'Hare and his misfit crew, battling the villainous Toad Air Marshall alongside allies like Dead-Eye Duck, AFC Blinky, and Jenny.

Willy DuWitt made his debut in the pages of Echo of Futurepast #1 back in 1984, stepping onto the Bronze Age scene in a series that announced itself as something genuinely different. Over a quarter-century of adventures, this young human found himself sharing the page with some of comics' most memorable sci-fi oddballs — the swashbuckling Captain Bucky O'Hare, the sharp-shooting Dead-Eye Duck, AFC Blinky, Jenny, and the villainous Toad Air Marshall — a rogues' gallery and crew that made the Bucky O'Hare universe one of the most colorful corners of funny-animal science fiction. With 34 catalog appearances across multiple series and a run stretching all the way to 2009, Willy is a testament to the staying power of that wild, imaginative world — and for fans of Bronze Age cult classics, he's a character well worth tracking down.
