Although The Fighting Hobo only made one comic book appearance, he hasn’t been since his comic book debut in 1942. A homage to The Fighting Hobo was created by Michael Finn in 2020 to avoid legal lawsuits from Marvel. That version is named “The Battling Hobo” in the pages of Thrilling Nostalgia Comics‘ The Liberty Brigade.
