Peter Porkchops

Peter Porkchops is a fictional funny animal pig who appeared in stories published by DC Comics. Peter was created by Otto Feuer, and first appeared in Leading Comics #23 (February/March 1947).

Peter's adventures mostly consisted of light-hearted fare, usually involving his neighbor A. Wolf (or "Wolfie" as Peter called him). The stories consisted mainly of Wolfie getting up to crafty get-rich-quick schemes with Peter thwarting him at every turn. In spite of this, it was an essentially friendly relationship.

Peter became one of DC's most successful funny animal characters, gaining his own comic in December 1949. Peter appeared throughout the 1950s, with Leading Comics canceled with its 77th issue in 1955; Peter's own comic was canceled with Peter Porkchops #62 in December 1960. He then ceased to appear (except for a few reprints) for the next several decades.

In 1982, Peter was brought back in a special insert in New Teen Titans #16 (February 1982). In this incarnation he is a steel mill worker in the Earth-C city of Piggsburg. While working one day over a vat, an irradiated meteor fragment slams into Peter, knocking them both into the molten steel; when he emerges, Peter finds himself transformed into a super-strong being of living metal, and soon becomes a superhero named Pig Iron (a reference to the word "pig iron", a part of the steel making process).
