Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham: The Complete Collection #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second volume of the complete Spider-Ham collection gathers more of the comedic, anthropomorphic adventures of Peter Porker, the pig-powered parody of Spider-Man. Reprinting material from the late 1980s and early 1990s, it includes stories where Spider-Ham crosses paths with other animal-themed Marvel heroes and villains, such as a porcine Doctor Octopus and a web-slinging encounter with Howard the Duck. The collection also features the debut of the piggy version of Captain Britain, Brian Braddock, and ties into the wider Marvel multiverse with appearances by characters like Spider-Girl and Spider-UK, all rendered in a lighthearted, cartoonish style that pokes fun at classic Spider-Man tropes.
In "Unlucky Bucks or The Illegal Eagle," Forbush-Man’s quest for a Rhino autograph takes a wild turn when a rogue kick sends him tumbling into the Spider-Ham universe. There, his accidental arrival transforms Peter Porker’s dry cleaner into a rampaging Ironing Boar, forcing the web-slinging pig to step in and restore order. Written by Michael Eury and brought to life by Ron Zalme’s art, with inks by Pierre Fournier, colors by Andy Yanchus, and letters by Rick Parker, this collection entry features a delightfully absurd crossover with a cover by David Lafuente.
In "Unlucky Bucks or The Illegal Eagle," Spider-Ham swaps his black suit for the classic red and blue after Shock-Cur mocks him over a case of unsightly dandruff. Meanwhile, Uncle Scram launches a bizarre crusade to banish foreigners from the U.S., turning the city into a chaotic farce of mistaken identity and misplaced patriotism.
When Scram's scheme to banish foreigners using booby-trapped cash accidentally crashes the economy, chaos erupts across the nation—leaving Jo and the others scrambling to untangle the mess before the whole system implodes.
When Forbush-Man shows up at the Rhino’s autograph session, a rogue kick sends him spiraling into the Spider-Ham universe—where his accidental arrival turns Peter Porker’s dry cleaner into the rampaging Ironing Boar. With the city in peril and the laundry gone rogue, Spider-Ham must clean up the mess before it’s too late. After the dust settles, the web-slinger finds a way to send Forbush-Man back where he came from.
In "Throw the Book at Him," Spider-Ham faces off against Tombstain and the mind-controlled Punfisher, struggling to break through the latter’s programming while dodging deadly attacks. The stakes are high, the humor is sharp, and every punchline lands with the chaotic charm of a classic superhero showdown.
In "Ducks and Doom," Spider-Ham and Howard find themselves caught in a bizarre dimensional mishap after the Whoatcher’s heartburn triggers a wild zap—landing them in a strange world where Ducktor Doom has grand, quacking schemes. With their usual wit and web-slinging flair, the duo must outsmart the duck-based menace before things get even more unhinged.
