Bill Plumm

Bill Plumm is a supporting character in Sheldon Mayer's Sugar & Spike, the Silver Age comedy series following two babies who can communicate with each other but not adults. Bill is the father of Sugar Plumm, anchoring the domestic family life central to the series.

Few characters capture the warm, domestic heart of mid-century DC quite like Bill Plumm, a supporting presence in Sheldon Mayer's beloved Sugar & Spike — one of the most charming and genuinely original series the Silver Age had to offer. Debuting in that landmark first issue of 1956, Bill shares the page with the likes of Sugar Plumm, Spike Wilson, and their families across a run that stretched a cozy fifteen years. His appearances span Sugar & Spike, Binky, and even Superman, making him a quietly versatile figure in DC's mid-century landscape. A small but real piece of Sheldon Mayer's legacy, Bill Plumm is a rewarding find for collectors who love the gentler, more human side of the era.
