WELCOME TO THE BOARDS!!

 

Do you have Spider-Ham's first appearance in MARVEL TAILS # 1?

 

And WIZARD published a complete Spider-Ham checklist in their newest issue. If you'd like I'll relay it for you. flowerred.gif

 

Thanks for the warm welcome! Yes, I have MT #1 as well. It is a (9.8 OWW). I don't have a scan of it yet, gotta get around to it. Bradley, what issue of Wizard are you referring to? Maybe I will just go pick it up at the local store. But in the meantime, yes I would very much like to see it.

Thanks once again!

just curious but...why the crazyness about these funny parody of marvel characters?!

 

Interesting qestion but as most comic book characters are parodies, in a sense, of real life - well - I guess a parody of a mild parody is enjoyable.

 

I remember Spider-Ham and recall chuckling at the idea. Is just a fun thing. Obvisouly not a part of a universe - but imagine such a full-blown universe? Or we we already have that for more real with Shetdon, Crumb, Stack, Moscoso - well - the undergournd folk! grin.gif

I just looked through the two latest WIZARDs and didn't see it. Nor the latest CBG. I *know* I've seen it recently. Give me a little more time and I'll come up with it.

Just one of those things I guess. Being a Spider-Man fanatic since I was a kid has made me strive for the oddball Spider-Man collectibles. Spider-Ham seemed like a natural progression, 27_laughing.gif.

 

I even have my original readers from the eighties that I bought as a kid.

How much did that book run you (if you don't mind me asking)?

 

I have a complete raw run, including the Marvel Tails issue. I have always toyed with the idea of collecting an uber-HG run of Spider-Ham. Where did you ge the book? Did you submit yourself?

Really, really nice book!

Question: since I haven't read Peter Porker, is Howard the Duck part of that universe or has he appeared in the series? Seems natural for these anthropomorphic characters to meet.

 

BTW: WELCOME TO THE BOARDS!

The two did meet in a back-up story in MARVEL TALES # 237. As they introduced themselves: "Ham. Spider-Ham" "Duck. Howard the"

 

 

BTW, I have to declare failure on the task of finding where I saw that complete SPIDER-HAM checklist. I checked all the recent WIZARDs and the CBGs. It was in *some* recent publication. It was on the bottom right-hand side of a right page, and was two columns. ANY other forumite know where this appeared? 893crossfingers-thumb.gif

BradleyX2 - The checklist is in the "Spider-Man 2004 Wizard Special". I don't have it, nor have I seen it at my local shops. Anyone got it? I am almost positive that I have all his appearances (more below).

 

chrisco37 - I don't mind at all. I got it from Reynold not to far back. Since it was the only 9.8 with white pages I decided to scoop it up. Cost me $149, shipping included.

 

Jayman - Thanks! Unfortunately chrisco37 is right, no crossover.
