Knothead

Knothead made their comics debut in 1952's Walter Lantz New Funnies #187, brought to life by creator Dan Gormley, and went on to become a recurring presence in the Walter Lantz comics universe across an impressive four decades. A Golden Age original published by Western, Knothead shared the pages with some of the most beloved funny-animal characters in the business — Woody Woodpecker, Splinter, Chilly Willy, Andy Panda, and Charlie Chicken — making for lively, laugh-packed company. With nearly 50 catalog appearances spread across titles like Walter Lantz Woody Woodpecker and even the charming Back to School special, this is a character with real staying power in the world of classic comics humor. Collectors take note: at least one of those appearances carries key-issue status, making Knothead a rewarding find for anyone digging into the rich, warmhearted world of Walter Lantz comics.
