Who is Curly Howard?

Curly Howard is the lovably zany, shaved-headed member of The Three Stooges comedy trio, known for his slapstick physicality and signature vocalizations alongside Moe and Larry. His real-world fame as a screen comedian translated into comic book adaptations beginning in 1948.

Few Golden Age debuts are as infectiously fun as Curly Howard's 1948 arrival in Juke Box Comics #4, bringing one of comedy's most beloved screen presences into the four-color world. Published by Eclipse, his comic book adventures kept him in exactly the right company β€” sharing pages with Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and the broader Stooge family across titles like Three-D Three Stooges and Fox Comics Legends Series. It's a testament to his enduring appeal that his comics footprint stretches all the way from the Golden Age to 2020, a run of over seven decades. With only 17 catalog appearances he's a genuine collector's curio β€” each issue a little treasure for fans who want their Stooge fix in ink and panels.
