Karl Bencher

Karl Bencher made his entrance into British comics in 1962, a Silver Age creation brought to life by the talented Francisco Solano López in the pages of Knockout, Amalgamated Press's beloved weekly anthology. Sharing those lively pages with characters like Tim Kelly, Billy Bunter, and Strongbow, Karl found himself in colourful company indeed — the kind of rollicking ensemble that made British weeklies such a joy to collect. With seven catalogued appearances, he's a compact but genuine piece of that early-sixties comics landscape, the sort of discovery that reminds you just how rich and varied the Amalgamated Press stable truly was.
