List of Ambush Bug-related published material

Early appearances

Before Ambush Bug received his own mini-series, he appeared in DC Comics Presents #52 and #59 as a villain, later becoming a hero in Supergirl #16. He discovered that Clark Kent is really Superman in Action Comics #560; revealed his origin in issue #563; and in issue #565, tried (and failed) to get Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman to appear in his mini-series. In DC Comics Presents #81 (his last pre-series appearance), he switches bodies with Superman for 48 hours.

Ambush Bug (mini-series)

In this series, Ambush Bug battles bombers that "killed" his sidekick Cheecks in issue #1. He then turned Quentin Quantis (in mutated form) human again in issue #2. In issue #3, he talked about lesser known characters and, in issue #4, had his showdown with Darkseid. In the last issue, he meets Argh! Yle!
