The Claw

Emerging from the Golden Age pages of Terry-Toons Comics in 1948, The Claw is a curious artifact of the Paul Terry animated universe translated into four-color comics form under St. John Publishing. Sharing panels with beloved funny-animal stars like Mighty Mouse, Sourpuss, and Mitzi Mouse across titles like Paul Terry's Mighty Mouse Comics and Paul Terry's Comics, this character occupies a fascinating corner of mid-century humor comics history. With appearances stretching across an impressive four decades through 1989, The Claw proves surprisingly enduring for a figure from the Golden Age funny-animal world — a genuine collector's curiosity worth tracking down.
