THE TOXIC AVENGER #1 (1991 Marvel) - The First Super Hero... From New Jersey! ☢️🧹
"A hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength is BORN!"
Get ready for some serious radioactive nostalgia! This is the premiere issue of Marvel’s The Toxic Avenger, released in April 1991. Based on the cult classic Troma film (and the beloved Toxic Crusaders cartoon era), this comic brings Melvin Junko’s grimy, gooey, justice-seeking adventures to the Marvel Universe.
Written by comic veteran Doug Moench (known for Batman and Moon Knight) with art by Rodney Ramos and Val Mayerik, this issue delivers all the "hideously deformed" action you crave. It’s a perfect slice of early 90s pop culture, blending superhero action with that signature Troma edge—all stamped with the Marvel seal of approval.
Why it’s a Must-Have:
-
Origin Story: Witness the birth of Toxie! Mop boy Melvin Junko falls into a vat of toxic waste and changes forever.
-
Cult Classic Appeal: A unique crossover between the underground world of Troma and the mainstream Marvel Universe.
-
Anniversary Marking: Features the "50 Years of Captain America 1941-1991" corner box—a cool detail for historical collectors.
