Description

Joe Palooka #51 Cover
Artwork credited to Al Avison (as "Ham Fisher").

Joe vs. Balonki boxing cover from 1950!!

I'm both a boxing fan and a Palooka fan, these are fun golden age books.

Sorry for the bad pic, don't have a proper scan and the piece has been framed for awhile. :-/

Ruffy Balonki (based on the real life Tony Galento) was a memorable villain in the Palooka-verse. Foul-mouthed, ill-mannered and a cheat, poor Joe barely beat him!

I love art containing boxing scenes. Palooka is a classic strip and this is a great cover example!
