About the series
Basil Wolverton's lone, madcap Marvel one-shot from 1943, Powerhouse Pepper Comics is a gleeful showcase of his signature grotesque, rubbery cartooning. The issue introduces the musclebound but dim-witted title character, a strongman whose slapstick adventures are packed with Wolverton's wild, detailed visual gags and absurd situations. A singular artifact of the Golden Age, it remains a cult favorite for fans of Wolverton's uniquely bizarre and influential art style.
