Captain Hercules Hurricane

A Silver Age creation with a name that announces itself like a thunderclap, Captain Hercules Hurricane burst onto the British comics scene in 1962, brought to life by the talented Argentine artist Francisco Solano López in the pages of IPC's Knockout. This larger-than-life character carved out his corner of the UK comics world across a run stretching into the early 1970s, popping up in beloved British weeklies like Valiant and Valiant and Smash! alongside a wonderfully colourful cast including Nora Nutt, "Maggot" Malone, and Mr. Quelch. A fixture of that golden era of British comics anthology culture, Captain Hercules Hurricane is a rewarding discovery for any collector with a taste for the distinctive humour and bravado that made IPC's titles such a cherished part of a generation's childhood.
