Larry Hanover

Straight out of the Golden Age, Larry Hanover made his debut in Joker Comics #28 in 1947, brought to life by artist Morris Weiss during Marvel's lively postwar era of humor and lighthearted adventure. With appearances spread across Lana and Joker Comics, he shares those pages with a colorful cast including Millie Collins, Lana Lane, and Eve Noble — the kind of breezy, personality-driven company that defined Marvel's mid-century comedic titles. His run may be compact at six catalog appearances, but one of those carries key-issue status, making him a genuine find for collectors with a taste for the charm and wit of late-1940s comics. A small footprint, perhaps, but a distinctly Golden Age one worth seeking out.
