Slippery Slim

A slippery character in every sense, Slippery Slim slithered onto the Golden Age scene in 1948, conjured up by none other than the legendary duo of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster — the creators who gave the world Superman — during their short-lived but fascinating Funnyman venture for Magazine Enterprises. With only four catalog appearances, this is a rare, blink-and-you'll-miss-it figure from one of comics history's most intriguing footnotes, sharing pages with the likes of Funnyman, Larry Davis, and June Farrell. For collectors with a taste for the obscure corners of the Golden Age, Slippery Slim is exactly the kind of hidden gem that makes digging through vintage back issues such a rewarding adventure.
