Those creases in my copy of this comic will make it easy to spot these scans when they pop up on other sites.
So every once in a while, I remember that Ambush Bug totally killed a dude during his first appearance in DC Comics Presents #52:

Of course, they started to go in a totally different direction with the character right after this appearance, leaning more towards “lighthearted parodic fourth-wall breaking goofball” rather than “creepy murderous dude.” Though you get a little bit of “creepy murderous dude” in Bug’s next appearance, when he ties a Superman cape to an alien and drops him off a building. The alien doesn’t die, but still, not for lack of trying.
Also featured in this issue, and speaking of “creepy” – a rare appearance of Ambush Bug’s unmasked face:

BONUS: everyone loves a parade, and the parade in this very issue features guest-appearances by Cerebus and Fred Hembeck Superman:

…as well as one of the elves from Elfquest:

I forget the character’s name. It’s “Frodo” or something, right?
Wow, I had no idea Ambush Bug was even wearing a mask. I thought he was and alien or pan-dimensional entity or something. I know who Skywise is though, so nerd points for me there.
Fred Hembeck Superman is pretty sweet, and I like that Cerebus looks like he is rocking a blond pompadour a la Brian Setzer.
THX-1234? Really?
Count me in as another person who thought Ambush Bug was some sort of alien and not just a dude with a mask.
I cannot believe I remember this, but Bug claimed in the letters page of one of the mini-series (yes, Ambush Bug answered the mail “himself”) that the guy didn’t really die and those were pools of INK, not blood. Which is of course completely ridic…wait.
I’m still trying to figure out why Swampy made all those appearances in Bug’s most recent minis.
Be sure not to miss Henry Winkler as Ambush Bug in the B:TB&TB episode “Mitefall”!
Wait… Lex Luthor is Ambush Bug?
Seriously. Count me as another that thought A.B. was some weird Giffen-alien thing-guy.
I have learned something new today.
Thanks.

Do not bait the Elfquest fans, Mike. Even furries quake in fear at their approach.
HIS NAME IS NOT FRODO YOU DOUCHE!!!!
It’s Samwise.
THE FACE OF IRWIN SCHWAB MUST ALWAYS BE IN SHADOW!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
