Marvel Tails Starring Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham #1 was published by
Marvel Comics in
1983 and was meant to be a
one-shot humor issue but when Marvel announced their
Star Comics line in
1985,
Spider-Ham got his own series.
Each issue came with a Spider-Ham feature and one backup story, usually a
funny-animal parody of another Marvel Superhero series.

In Spider-Ham #2,
Steve Mellor created a story starring those mutant insects,
The Uncanny X-Bugs!
