New Thunderbunny Collection

Here's another announcement from Drew Ford at It's Alive! This time, it's for fans of the old independent publisher Warp Graphics. The company, run by Elfquest creators Wendy and Richard Pini, also brought comic fans many other fun series to enjoy, including...

IT'S ALIVE! is proud to announce the publication of a THUNDERBUNNY omnibus collection by creator Martin Greim, along with a number of artists from a variety of publications between 1982 and 1987.

In 1960, the first appearance of THUNDERBUNNY was published in a fanzine entitled Mass Fan Newsletter. It was two drawings and a short story by Martin. 17 years later, an 8 page THUNDERBUNNY showed up in Comic Crusader Storybook. The art for that was by Gene Day and Jerry Ordway. There was also an image of THUNDERBUNNY on the back cover of that same comic by Joe Sinnott. 

 

Then, in 1982, the THUNDERBUNNY origin story was published in Charlton Bullseye #6, with art by Mike Machlan and Victor Laszlo (aka Peter Iro). Cover by Machlan and Ordway. Later the same year, the entire issue of Charlton Bullseye #10 featured THUNDERBUNNY, drawn by Brian Buniak. 

 

Finally, in 1985, THUNDERBUNNY #1-12 came out from Warp Graphics/Apple Comics, with artwork by Buniak. The last issue came out November of 1987.
