Cloyd

Stepping out of the anarchic world of Bullwinkle & Rocky, Cloyd made their comics debut in 1987's Bullwinkle & Rocky 3-D #1, brought to life by John Stephenson and Jorge Pacheco for Blackthorne Publishing during the Copper Age boom of licensed and novelty comics. With only three catalogued appearances spread across titles like Bullwinkle for President in 3-D, Cloyd is a rare find — a background player in a beloved cartoon universe who shares the page with iconic figures like Boris Badenov, Natasha Fatale, Fearless Leader, and the irrepressible Bullwinkle J. Moose himself. That's rarefied company, and for collectors who love the offbeat corners of Blackthorne's 3-D era, tracking down Cloyd's handful of appearances is exactly the kind of satisfying hunt that makes digging through back-issue bins so rewarding.
