P.X. Pete Peterson

A supporting player from the early 1950s military humor scene, P.X. Pete Peterson made his debut in Stanhall's G.I. Jane #1 in 1953, right in the thick of the Golden Age. Over a handful of issues spanning just a couple of years, he shared the barracks-comedy world of Pvt. Jane Whirly, Pvt. Jill Jones, and the irrepressible Muggy-Doo, Boy Cat — a wonderfully offbeat ensemble that made G.I. Jane one of the more charming oddities of its era. With only nine catalog appearances, Pete is a genuine deep-cut find for collectors who love hunting the quirky, short-lived titles that give the Golden Age its real texture and surprise.
