Showcase Presents Ambush Bug

Collecting the early, anarchic adventures of DC’s most self-aware and irreverent hero, this 2009 one-shot from the Showcase Presents line spotlights the work of writer Paul Kupperberg and artist Keith Giffen. It reprints the character’s first appearances and key early stories, establishing the intentionally ridiculous tone that would define Ambush Bug as a gleeful spoiler of superhero conventions. A compact, black-and-white volume for fans of DC’s weirder corners.
