Humphrey Pennyworth

Humphrey Pennyworth is a Harvey Comics character who debuted in the Joe Palooka comic universe, moving in the company of boxer Joe Palooka and pals like Little Max. He proved popular enough to headline his own title, Humphrey Comics.

A Golden Age Harvey Comics creation, Humphrey Pennyworth made his debut in Joe Palooka Comics #15 in 1947, brought to life by the talented Bob Powell. Clearly a character who resonated with readers, Humphrey earned his own dedicated title — Humphrey Comics — and kept lively company alongside Joe Palooka, Little Max, and fellow Pennyworth Pruney across a publishing run that stretched a solid fourteen years. With a key issue among his appearances and a presence across multiple Harvey titles, he's a charming slice of mid-century comics history well worth a second look for Golden Age enthusiasts.
