Captain O’Hare is the guard that blocks the entrance to Pegasus Place. He doesn’t think much of the Pigswick students and wants your wizard to take care of a Goblin problem.
Bucky O’Hare is a fictional character and the hero of an eponymous comic book series and spin-off media, including an animated TV series and various toys and video games. He was created by comic book writer Larry Hama and comic book artist Michael Golden between 1977 and 1978 and made its publishing debut in Echo of Futurepast #1 in May 1984 Continuity Comics.
The storyline of Bucky O’Hare follows a parallel universe where a war is ongoing between the inept United Animals Federation and the sinister Toad Empire. The United Animals Federation is an interplanetary republic run by sapient mammals, while The Toad Empire is controlled by a vast computer system known as KOMPLEX, which has led the highly consumerist toad population to fight an expansionist campaign against the rest of the galaxy.
The original Bucky O’Hare was published by Continuity Comics between 1984 and 1985. The series ran in issues #1-6 of the comics anthology series Echo of Futurepast, with Hama writing and Michael Golden on pencils. All six parts were collected into an oversized graphic novel in 1986. The comic book spawned an animated television adaptation, Bucky O’Hare and the Toad Wars. The cartoon, meanwhile, ran from September 1991 to January 1992, along with a series of action figures. During that period, Konami produced two tie-in video games based on the property: an NES version and an arcade version, both released in 1992.
