Friar Tuck

Few figures from legend have made the leap to Golden Age comics with quite the charm of Friar Tuck, who first graced the pages of Quality Comics' Kid Eternity #6 in 1947, brought to life by creator Max Elkan. Summoned into the company of Kid Eternity and Mr. Keeper — alongside luminaries as timeless as Romeo and Juliet — this jovial friar from Sherwood Forest tradition found himself woven into one of the era's most imaginative series. His appearances are rare gems in the catalog, the kind of historical cameo that makes Golden Age collecting such a delightful treasure hunt, and the fact that his adventures have been lovingly preserved through reprint collections spanning all the way to 2025 speaks to the enduring magic of that original Kid Eternity run.
