The Bog Paper

In the late 1980s, Marvel UK unleashed The Bog Paper, a short-lived but distinctive 11-issue series that blended absurdist humor with superhero satire. Created by writer Simon Furman and artist John Higgins, the comic followed the misadventures of a hapless, swamp-dwelling antihero in a world of over-the-top British pop culture references. Its scrappy, anarchic tone set it apart from mainstream Marvel fare, capturing the era's underground comic energy while still operating under the corporate banner. Though brief, The Bog Paper remains a cult oddity for fans of Furman and Higgins' offbeat collaborations.
