Funnyman

Funnyman is a Golden Age comedic hero who debuted in Magazine Enterprises' Manhunt #3 in 1947, later starring in his own dedicated series. Created by Superman co-creator Joe Shuster alongside Vin Sullivan and Ray Krank, he blended humor with adventure in the postwar comics era.

Born in the pages of Magazine Enterprises' Manhunt #3 in 1947, Funnyman is a genuine Golden Age curiosity — a character with the rare distinction of having Superman co-creator Joe Shuster among his founding fathers, alongside Vin Sullivan and Ray Krank. That creative pedigree alone makes him a collector's conversation piece, and his own dedicated Funnyman series cemented him as more than a one-off curiosity from the postwar funny-book boom. His adventures kept him in colorful company — sharing pages with the likes of Larry Davis, June Farrell, and the wonderfully named Doc Gimmick — and the fact that his catalog footprint stretches all the way to 2016 means this Golden Age original has never quite faded from the memories of those who love digging into comics' earliest, most inventive years.
