This collection gathers the complete 1948-1949 Funnyman comic strip and comic book series, created by Superman's original architects Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster after they lost the rights to their iconic hero. Funnyman follows Larry Davis, a zany celebrity who uses slapstick and absurd gadgets to fight crime, reflecting Siegel and Shuster's attempt to launch a new comedic superhero in the postwar era. The volume includes historical context exploring Funnyman as an early Jewish superhero archetype, with appearances by familiar faces like Superman and Lois Lane in cameo roles.
