Tubby

Tubby made their Marvel debut in 1946's Marvel Mystery Comics #78, stepping onto Golden Age pages courtesy of creator Jimmy Thompson and into some remarkably storied company — sharing those classic issues with luminaries like Namor, Toro, and Bucky. It's a testament to the richness of that era that even a character with a modest catalog footprint turns up in such historically significant corners of the Marvel universe, including at least one collector-recognized key issue. For Golden Age enthusiasts and Marvel completists diving into the Marvel Masterworks reprints, Tubby is a genuine piece of that vibrant, sprawling wartime comics tapestry worth seeking out.
