14th August 2018
It came whoosing out of the sky like a giant comet – but this other-worldly visitor brought more than fire and fear! Soon, young Pete Parker would find a new gang of friends who may be small in stature but they’re big in friendship!
With just a day to go until The Vigilant hits shelves, we’re giving readers the chance to discover the first appearances of some of the classic characters revived in this brand new title!
First appearing in Buster in 1973 and created by Tom Tully and Francisco Solano Lopez, Pete’s Pocket Army saw six tiny aliens crash land on Earth and then adopt young Pete Parker. These alien castaways – Kon-Dar, Dokk, Moonie, Grunf, Tigg and Zapp – lived in his pockets and spent their time helping Pete get even with school bullies and Pete’s sneaky cousin, Julie.
