Who is Alice Biggs?

Alice Biggs is the warm, no-nonsense mother of teenager Binky Biggs and wife of Bertram Biggs Sr., anchoring the suburban household at the center of DC's slice-of-life humor series. An ordinary 1940s American mom, she has no powers—just the endless patience required to keep up with her son's comic misadventures.

Debuting in the pages of Leave It to Binky #10 in 1949, Alice Biggs is a charming slice of Golden Age DC Comics — the kind of character who anchored the lighthearted, slice-of-life teen humor that flourished in the postwar years. Created by Hal Seeger and Bob Oksner, she's been a fixture across Leave It to Binky, Binky, and even Dale Evans Comics, with a presence stretching an impressive 34 years and six key collector issues to her name. The company she keeps — including Peggy Baxter, Lucy Biggs, and even the occasional appearance alongside Clark Kent himself — speaks to the wonderfully eclectic, fun-loving corner of the DC universe she inhabited. For fans of classic humor comics and the warm, breezy storytelling of comics' earliest era, Alice Biggs is absolutely worth a closer look.
