I was a huge fan in the 90's. I actually couldn't get the 5th issue of the comic, every retailer around me had dropped it. Being an upset young'n my mom actually called the publisher to see if she could order it, instead they signed and sent me a hardcover of the graphic novel compilation. They also said that a couple Jenny's were actually made with the first wave of toys, but produced in a small batch and given to them and a few others as gifts. Guess they didn't think it would sell well.

The comics were just great. Too bad they were so short-lived.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

It's funny I don't think I had seen the comics in YEARS. So seeing them now, Golden's artwork was a breath of fresh air. Absolutely electric on the page.

[@liljenborg2517]

I came across a Bucky coloring book at the drug store in the little town where I went to college. The art was a quantum leap better than anything else. Then, a couple years later when I was in Grad School, I caught a couple of issues at my LCS. The art was AMAZING. But if any of the local stations ran the show, it was always on Sunday morning when I was at church (and, more often then not, preempted by sporting events). So I only saw a couple of episodes when I was too sick to make it to church.

[@possumlodge5368]

Yes, the art really stands out in those panels.

[@gundamdunham7479]

I have the NES version of the game, too. If only I had a walkthrough of the game via Nintendo Power or a strategy guide booklet, or from an online source, it would've made playing the game much more easier. The most trickier places in the game were Red Planet & Blue Planet.

[@MSGSlayer1]

I made my own Bucky costume for Halloween as a kid. I drew up a paper mask which was tied to my head, and then drew the yellow belt and trimmings which I glued to a red sweater. In what was literally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I played the arcade game, a side-scrolling beat-em-up. It was epic.

Ah, yes, Bucky O'Hare, together with Jaxxon and Jazz Jackrabbit form the trifecta of space-themed green antropomorphic rabbits who dress in red and shoot guns.

Seriously, they are really bad about that. They did that to the guy who created Captain N when they ended up teaming up with DiC to make the animated series back in the 90's. Didn't give the guy credit or anything for what he came up.

[@takeoutfromchina3166]

StarFox is already a spiritual successor to Bucky O' Hare. Just read the 1993 Nintendo Power comic, it has a lot of similar elements. As good as this crossover sounds Imamura, Miyamoto, and Itoh already envisioned what the series was and a crossover is not in sight. Granted its always bothered me when people only look at StarFox from a surface level and never bothered to pay attention to detail pass that. Yes their pilots, partially, though they were intended as mercenaries that played by their own rules and sought payment. Also everything in Dinosaur Planet fits in the StarFox universe.

RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION --- the ship, the name, the meaning so lit

[@noway9081]

I always thought Starfox was a ripoff of Bucky.

[@alucard624]

I'll bet someone at Nintendo watched an episode of Bucky and went from there.

I remember having the Bucky OHare toys, my Deadeye Duck was a staple character in my action figure imagination

The NES game has one of the best OSTs on the system.

Hell yeah!

I loved Bucky O'Hare as a kid, I had Al Negator toy and played the NES game. Keep up the good work with the memories!

[@michaelramirez5656]

Would love to see an episode on Starcade!

Bucky caught my attention in cartoon form. I assumed at the time that it was aping Captain Carrot, which I’m sure happened a lot and frustrated Larry Hama to no end. Thankfully, I appreciated both properties. Deadeye Duck was the breakout character for me. I still try to name my starships something awesome, like the The Righteous Indignation.

Does it actually say "toadal domination" in your script?

My dad was right in the middle of the funny animal comic scene. He had an Albedo subscription and had a 4 comic series called Space Wolf published by Antarctic Press. He claims Barnyard Commandos was based off of artwork of his that was stolen during San Diego Comic con. Thanks for bringing back some great childhood memories

Oh. I’m early. Um. Do you need help setting up chairs or something?

In another dimension, another time and space! Man I loved this show as a kid and I still find myself singing the theme song at times!
