Rusty Rumple

A cheerful product of comics' Golden Age, Rusty Rumple first turned up in Rusty Comics #12 in 1947, right in the thick of Marvel's postwar boom of lighthearted, humor-driven titles. With a modest but genuine footprint across Tessie the Typist Comics, Millie the Model Comics, and Lana, Rusty clearly belonged to that breezy, fun-loving corner of the Marvel universe populated by the likes of Millie Collins, Hedy De Vine, and Tessie Tender. Fifteen appearances across the catalog make Rusty a genuine slice of Golden Age charm — a small but authentic piece of a wonderfully sunny era in comics history that deserves a second look from any serious collector of Marvel's earliest days.
