Fatso

Fatso made their debut in the pages of Real Screen Comics #2 back in 1945 — a Golden Age creation from the legendary C. C. Beck — and has proven to be one of the more quietly enduring figures in comics history, with a publishing journey stretching all the way to 2022. With 99 catalogued appearances spread across titles as varied as Savage Dragon, Leave It to Binky, and Detective Comics, this character has clearly found a home across eras and publishers, landing at Image after a remarkably long road. Five key issues mark the highlights of that journey, and the company Fatso keeps — sharing pages with the likes of Malcolm Dragon, Rollo, and Fisty — makes for a wonderfully eclectic corner of comics worth exploring.
