Terrible Tuzzlewits

Gene Fawcette brought Terrible Tuzzlewits into the world through the pages of Thrilling Comics in 1948, a genuine Golden Age original with a name that crackles with personality. This AC Comics character has kept wonderfully eclectic company over the years — sharing pages with the likes of Looie Lazybones, Clarabelle Bettlepatch, and Nightveil — and later turned up in Good Girl Art Quarterly, bridging the Golden Age into an era of nostalgic celebration that stretched all the way to 1991. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Terrible Tuzzlewits is exactly the kind of delightful rarity that reminds collectors why digging through the back-issue bins is always worth the effort.
