Bob Cherry

Bob Cherry is a schoolboy character from the British comics tradition, appearing alongside classic figures like Billy Bunter and Harry Wharton in stories rooted in cheerful school-life adventures published in Knockout.

A Silver Age creation from the British comics scene, Bob Cherry made his debut in Knockout #22 in September 1962, brought to life by writer Tom Tully and the wonderfully expressive Argentine artist Francisco Solano López. Published by Amalgamated Press across the 1960s, he shares his pages with some wonderfully familiar British comics company — including the legendary Billy Bunter and Harry Wharton — placing him firmly in that cheerful, school-story tradition that British readers adored. If you're exploring the rich, often-overlooked world of mid-century UK comics through Knockout and Valiant, Bob Cherry is a charming piece of that puzzle worth tracking down.
