January 2013

Joe Palooka was one of the most popular of comic heroes, appearing in newspapers from 1930 to 1984. The heavyweight champion character was also on radio and TV shows, and there are many Palooka lunchboxes, figures and games from those days. He has now been reborn, appearing in a Dec. 19, 2012, Mixed Martial Arts comic book and online. The new character does not look like the original Palooka.
