The Knockout Kid

Born into the Silver Age pages of British comics, The Knockout Kid made their debut in Knockout #1 in September 1962, brought to life by the talented Argentine artist Francisco Solano López for Amalgamated Press. Sharing those lively pages with a colourful cast including Sydney, Strongbow, Tim Kelly, Sporty, and the memorable Mr. Quelch, this character was part of a rich anthology tradition that made Knockout a beloved fixture on British newsagents' shelves. With 17 catalog appearances tied to that flagship title, The Knockout Kid may not be the most prolific figure in Silver Age comics, but for collectors with a passion for British comics history and Solano López's distinctive artistry, they're a genuinely rewarding discovery.
