Cecil Trumpetski

Cecil Trumpetski is a supporting character in Marvel's postwar humor comics, appearing alongside Hedy De Vine in the glamorous, wisecracking world of Hollywood-flavored comedy titles. He has no superpowers — just a comedic role among the colorful personalities populating Marvel's Golden Age humor lineup.

A supporting player from Marvel's breezy Golden Age comedy scene, Cecil Trumpetski made his entrance in 1947 within the glamorous, wisecracking world of Hedy De Vine Comics, rubbing elbows with the likes of Hedy De Vine, Millie Collins, and a whole cast of vivacious characters that defined Marvel's postwar humor titles. His appearances stretch across Hedy of Hollywood Comics and even the Western-flavored Annie Oakley, making him a quietly versatile face in an era when Marvel was as much about laughs and starlets as it was about superheroes. With only eight catalogued appearances, Cecil is a genuine rarity — the kind of background gem that makes digging through Golden Age back issues such a rewarding treasure hunt.
