About the series
In 2012–2013, IDW revived the classic newspaper strip Joe Palooka as a six-issue comic series, bringing the beloved heavyweight boxer into the modern era. Writers Joe Antonacci, Mike Bullock, and Matt Triano, alongside artists Fernando and Martin Peniche, crafted a fresh take that honored the character's roots while exploring new challenges inside and outside the ring. This short but spirited run stands as a loving tribute to one of comics' earliest sports heroes, reminding readers of the enduring appeal of a good-natured champ.
