Ulysses and Penelope, illustration by Pete Riss, edited by George Brenner, Hit Comics 43, p. 6, United States, Nov 1946.
The central couple of Homer's Odyssey, Ulysses (Odysseus) and Penelope, are depicted here in an American superhero comic book published in 1946. They are held up as the perfect, loyal marriage, which is humorously compared to another character's not-so-perfect marriage.
