Calling All Comic Gurus...

[Pbartender]

This has been bugging me all week...

Way back in the late 80's -- or may be early 90s -- I ran across a couple of issues of a comic book that featured a hairless green-skinned guy with bug eyes and antennae wearing ordinary clothes. I've a vague recollection that he was a detective (though that might be erroneous). It wasn't any mainstream comic, and I can't remember much else specific about it.

But I can't remember wither the comic's or the character's name (aside form the fact that the comic had a rather long pulp-ish name like "The extraordinary Misadventures of the Uncanny Alien Bug Man"), and it's driving me nuts.

If I saw it, I'd know it... Can anyone help me out?

Sounds like Ambush Bug to me. Was it a humor book?

Keith Griffen's Ambush Bug.


The title you are thinking of may Be Son of Ambush Bug.

Son of Ambush Bug.

THAT'S IT!

You guys are awesome.

Thanks. Now I'll be able to sleep tonight.

The Ambush Bug vs the Legion of Substitute Heroes (and Superman) is one of my favorite comics of all time.

Can anyone tell me about Ambush Bug? He just never clicked with me back then and Now I don't remember anything about him beyond what I wrote above.

The Wikipedia article Rich posted above is actually pretty good.

The fact that it was Ambush Bug you were thinking of makes your original statement somewhat ironic....

Slight hi-jack of the thread but what are people thinking of the new Seige storyline from marvel?

Volstagg was an obvious pawn of Osborne. I have always liked the U-Foes it is nice to see them play a big part of the first strike.

It is a bit much being so close to the start of Civil War but it also makes complete sence from the standpoint of osborne.


Thoughts?

I"m not sure if I'm going to read Seige or not until the trades start coming out considering my Marvel bucks are vested in Necroshia and X-Men Second Coming (since I have a feeling that Hope is really Dark Pheonix II and not Jean Grey/The Good Phoenix ).
