Ziggy Pig and Silly Seal are fictional, funny-animal comic-book characters created by cartoonist Al Jaffee for Marvel Comics' 1940s predecessor, Timely Comics, during the period fans and historians call the Golden Age of Comic Books. Initially appearing as individual stars of solo features in the comedy anthology ''Krazy Komics'' #1 (cover dated July 1942), they were soon teamed to become, along with Super Rabbit, the most prominent stars of what Timely called its "animation" comics. With such ''Krazy Komics'' cohorts as Toughy Cat, the anthropomorphic duo are among the first funny-animal characters created specifically for the fledgling medium of comic books, rather than adapted from film, comic strips, or other media. Some stories used the logo Silly Seal and Ziggy Pig, and at least one used simply Silly and Ziggy.〔''All Surprise Comics'' #10 (Summer 1946)〕 ==Publication history== Ziggy Pig and Silly Seal were created by cartoonist Al Jaffee for Timely Comics, a predecessor of Marvel Comics, in the comedy anthology comic book ''Krazy Komics'' #1 (cover dated July 1942). Jaffee recalled in a 2004 interview, Aside from Jaffee, artists associated with the feature include Joe Calcagno, Harvey Eisenberg,〔 Al Fago〔 *Archive of Shaw, Scott, ("''Krazy Comics'' Issue: Vol. 1, No. 9" ), "Oddball Comics" (column) #417, November 7, 2001.

(Original page )〕 Following their individual debuts, Ziggy Pig and Silly Seal were teamed and became stars of Timely Comics' children's-comedy line. They first appeared together on a cover with ''Krazy Komics'' #5 (Jan. 1943), and continued as the cover feature through #24 (Sept. 1946), generally with their regular antagonist, Toughy Cat; they also appeared on the ensemble cover of the final issue, #26 (Fall 1946). Ziggy and Silly became the cover stars of all eight issues of ''Animated Funny Comic-Tunes'' (#16-23, Summer 1944 - Fall 1946; Silly not on cover of #18), all seven issues of ''Silly Tunes'' (Fall 1945 - April 1947; as part of ensemble on last issue), on issues of ''Ideal Comics'', and elsewhere. They appear on the Super Rabbit-dominated ensemble covers on all but issues #10 & 12 of the dozen-issue ''All Surprise Comics'' (Fall 1943 - Winter 1946), and in both the ensemble covers and their own covers on all six issues of ''Comic Capers'' (Fall 1944 - Fall 1946). Ziggy and Silly headlined their own six-issue ''Ziggy Pig-Silly Seal Comics'' (Jan. 1944 - Sept. 1946).〔Though unhyphenated on the cover logo, the duo's namesake comic is titled ''Ziggy Pig-Silly Seal Comics'' according to its 1970s copyright renewal, as per (''The Catalog of Copyright Renewal Records (1977)'' ) by the United States Copyright Office (Kessinger Publishing, 2007, ISBN 1-4325-1250-1, ISBN 978-1-4325-1250-7)〕 ''Silly Tunes'' #7 (April 1947) marked their final Golden Age appearance. After this era, they reappeared in the one-shot 3-D comic book, ''Animal Fun 3-D'' (Dec. 1953), from Premier Magazines.〔(1950s 3-D Comic Book Checklist ).

W. Publications / Super Comics, for a short time beginning in 1958. In his only, non-canonical Marvel Comics appearance, Ziggy Pig appears alongside artist Terry Austin in the novelty humor comic ''Marvel Fumetti Book'' #1 (April 1984), in the two-page story "Inker-Dinker-Doo" by writer Mike Carlin, photographer Vince Colletta, and penciller-inker Austin.〔(''Marvel Fumetti Book'' #1 ) at the Grand Comics Database〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ziggy Pig and Silly Seal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
