Strongbow

A Silver Age arrival from the summer of 1962, Strongbow made their debut in the pages of Knockout — a beloved British anthology comic from Amalgamated Press — brought to life by the talented Argentine artist Francisco Solano López. Over the course of 23 catalogued appearances, this character carved out a place in a wonderfully eclectic lineup that included the likes of Tim Kelly, Billy Bunter, and Mr. Quelch, the kind of colourful company that made Knockout such a treat for young British readers of the era. It's a snapshot of a vibrant moment in UK comics history, when weekly anthologies ruled the newsagents and every issue promised something new — and Strongbow is a genuine piece of that puzzle worth seeking out.
