The Kute Knockout

Dreamed up by none other than Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster — the legendary duo who gave the world Superman — The Kute Knockout made her debut in Funnyman #2 in 1948, a genuine Golden Age gem from Magazine Enterprises. She shares her pages with a colorful cast including Funnyman himself, and her appearances span a surprisingly broad stretch of comics history, turning up as recently as 2016 in Super Weird Heroes. With only a handful of catalog appearances, she's the kind of rare, curiosity-sparking character that makes deep-dive collectors absolutely light up — a small but authentic piece of the Siegel and Shuster legacy beyond the Man of Steel.
