About the series
From 1978 to 1979, Marvel Comics published this three-issue series showcasing the singular, grotesquely detailed cartooning of Basil Wolverton, who both wrote and illustrated every installment. The strip follows the slapstick misadventures of its titular character, a hapless, bulbous-nosed everyman navigating a world of absurd, Rube Goldberg-style calamities. Though brief, Wheely Nutz stands as a late-career showcase for Wolverton’s uniquely manic, pre-Code-era style within a mainstream superhero publisher.
