John Fitzgerald Kennedy

A fictionalized depiction of the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, appearing in comics contexts ranging from action titles to satire. His role and framing shift depending on the series, making him an eclectic, hard-to-pin-down figure across publishers.

A fictionalized (or perhaps surprisingly literal) rendering of the 35th President of the United States, this John Fitzgerald Kennedy made his comics debut in the Bronze Age pages of The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #16 in 1975, brought to life by creator Frank McLaughlin. With only six catalog appearances spanning nearly four decades, he's a rare and eclectic presence in the medium, turning up in such wildly varied titles as glamourpuss, 2000 AD, and Deadpool — and keeping genuinely extraordinary company alongside Captain America, Thor, and Richard Nixon. For collectors who love the strange intersections where history and comics mythology collide, Kennedy's scattered appearances are exactly the kind of curiosity worth tracking down.
