About the series
Basil Wolverton’s Powerhouse Pepper is a gloriously eccentric gem from Marvel’s late-1940s output, running for four issues. The series stars a delightfully oddball strongman whose adventures are a whirlwind of Wolverton’s signature grotesque, rubbery art and wild, pun-filled humor. It stands as a pure, unadulterated showcase for one of comics’ most singular and influential cartoonists.
