Bucky O'Hare was created by comic writer Larry Hama between 1978 & 1979. It was first published by Continuity Comics in comic book form in the mid-1980s, appearing in the anthology series Echo of Futurepast, with Hama writing and Michael Golden on pencils. The series was later collected into an oversized graphic novel. Hama wrote a second Bucky O'Hare arc, which was never published. The comic book spawned an animated TV show between September 1991 & January 1992, along with a series of action figures. A Bucky O'Hare video game developed by Konami for the Nintendo Entertainment System came out in 1992, and a Bucky O'Hare arcade game was also released. The storyline follows a parallel universe (the aniverse), where a war is ongoing between the slightly inept United Animals Federation (run by mammals) and the sinister Toad Empire. The Toad Empire is led by a vast computer system known as KOMPLEX, which has brainwashed the toad population.

gorillamansays...Larry Hama's probably the worst writer in comics, but somehow Bucky O'Hare is totally awesome. How did that happen?
gorgonheapsays...I don't think he wrote for the cartoon. Neal Adams was the writer for the fist season.
Sylvester_Inksays...The Righteous Indignation is the greatest space-ship name ever.
