I believe I had issue #1 of "Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham" when I was growing up. In fact, I think I remember purchasing it in violation of solemn oath to stop buying comic books during Lent. It was only a couple of days into the 40, so obviously, I didn't have what you would call "willpower" back then.
All this came rushing back to me because of a Facebook status update in which I wrote that my "piggy sense is tingling" in response to the WHO upgrading their "threat level" to "pandemic eminent". We surely could use your radioactive spider-enriched pork powers now, Spider-Ham!
And yes, that is "Ducktor Doom" on the cover as the villain. The series was all about a terrible (yet funny) play on the names of the standard roster of comic book characters in the Marvel publishing universe. I think the biggest stretch that I can recall was the "Punfisher".
