Peter Pooper

A minor but genuine piece of Silver Age Marvel history, Peter Pooper made their debut in the pages of Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD #3 in 1968 — a comic crafted by the legendary Jim Steranko at the height of his groundbreaking run. Across a surprisingly long publishing footprint stretching from 1968 all the way to 2012, this character turns up in some remarkable company, sharing pages with Spider-Man, the Green Goblin, and other Marvel icons across titles like Capt. Savage and His Leatherneck Raiders and The Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus. With only three catalog appearances but one recognized as a key issue, Peter Pooper is the kind of deep-cut curiosity that rewards the devoted Marvel archivist — a small thread woven into the rich, sprawling tapestry of the House of Ideas.
