Joe Palooka by Ham Fisher (0690-) 1st Appearance April 19, 1930 - Joe Palooka was created by Ham Fisher during a time when Boxing was considered a legitimate organized sport.   It was that background that allowed for a character like Joe, who was a boxer that epitomized clean living and clean values.   Joe was the star, with ample assist from Knobby Walsh, his manager and from Ann Howe his longtime girlfriend and eventual wife.  The action in Joe Palooka stayed close to the fight game for most of the strip's run with a notable exception to the World War II era when Joe joined the Army.  The market for Joe Palooka pages is pretty good.   Collectors like the full-size pages which ran until the war years, the most desirable of those is a short run which included Paper Dolls in the early 30's.    The supply side is very good because Joe Palooka ran in an awful lot of newspapers for an awful long time.  This allows the prices to stay relatively low and makes the strip a very good value.  You can still get good runs of the strip quite cheaply.   Dailies sell at about the same pace as sundays.
