Johnny Rumple

A cheerful slice of Golden Age Marvel charm, Johnny Rumple stepped onto the scene in 1947's Rusty Comics #12, rubbing elbows with a lively cast that includes Rusty Rumple, Millie Collins, and the glamorous Lana Lane. With appearances spread across both Rusty Comics and Lana, he's a small but genuine piece of the postwar comic landscape when Marvel — then known for its broad, breezy humor and romance titles — was casting a wide and colorful net. Rare enough to be a genuine find for Golden Age collectors, Johnny Rumple is exactly the kind of forgotten figure who makes digging through back-issue bins such a rewarding adventure.
