Wolverine-Bug

Few characters capture the gleeful absurdity of Marvel's mid-1980s funny-animal universe quite like Wolverine-Bug, who scuttled onto the scene in 1985's Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham #2, courtesy of creators Steve Skeates and Mark Armstrong. A Bronze Age original born from that wonderfully irreverent corner of Marvel where superhero parody ran wild, this character shares pages with the likes of Peter Porker, Spider-Ham, Bunsen Bunny, and Magsquito — a rogues' gallery of pun-named critters that tells you everything about the delirious fun on offer. With only three catalog appearances across a short 1985–1987 run, Wolverine-Bug is a genuine rarity, the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through back-issue bins so rewarding for collectors with a sense of humor.
