Joe Palooka
Created by Ham Fisher, Joe Palooka is one of the great all-time popular comic strips. While critics thought the strip schmaltzy and naive, the great reading public couldn't get enough of Joe, his long-time affair with Ann Howe, his relationship with his boxing manager Knobby Walsh, and his prowess in the boxing ring. During WWII, Joe gave up the ring to fight for Uncle Sam. The strip began in 1928 and continued well beyond Fisher's death in 1955. Six Joe Palooka books are available. Each volume has 80 black and white pages, and black and white paper, saddlestitched cover. Oblong format, 11x8½. Reproduction is clear and sharp. ....WAS $10.00. ON SALE!
