Appears in Game Boy (In the Palm of Your Hand...) (1990)

Mr. Levison is a bald, middle-aged man and a boss of Herman Smirch in Valiant's Game Boy comics.

Mr. Levison debuts in the comics' first issue, In the Palm of Your Hand..., where he is shown to own Lev's Lectronics, an electronics store in the Wonder World Mall. After noticing that Herman Smirch seems upset upon arriving at Lev's Lectronics, Levison asks him what is wrong. Herman goes on to tell Mr. Levison that he was "nearly mugged" (in reality, Herman had gotten into an argument with a beggar) and goes on to tell Mr. Levison that "there is no justice in the world". After hearing Herman's story, Mr. Levison realizes that it is made up and decides to go to the bank, leaving Herman, who has stolen a Game Boy from Lev's Lectronics, in charge while he is away.

Mr. Levison appears to be the opposite of his employee, Herman Smirch; while Herman is generally uncaring and hateful, Mr. Levison is generous and kind.

NamingEdit

Mr. Levison's name is a variant of the name "Leveson," which comes from the Middle English personal name of the same name. This, in turn, is derived from the Old English "Lēofsunu", which is a combination of lēof ("dear") and sunu ("son"), reflecting on Mr. Levison's kind nature in contrast to Herman Smirch.
