Blackie Bear

Blackie Bear is a Golden Age funny-animal character from DC's postwar humor comics, appearing alongside fellow cartoon critters like Robert Rabbit and Nutsy Squirrel in titles such as Funny Stuff and Hollywood Funny Folks.

Brought to life by the legendary C. C. Beck in the pages of Funny Stuff #23 in 1947, Blackie Bear is a charming slice of DC's Golden Age funny-animal universe — the kind of cheerful, comic-strip-spirited character that kept kids grinning through the postwar years. Appearing across delightful titles like Hollywood Funny Folks, Funny Stuff, and Movietown's Animal Antics, Blackie kept lively company with the likes of Robert Rabbit, Nutsy Squirrel, and Dunbar Dodo through the early 1950s. A rare find with only a handful of catalog appearances, this little bear is a genuine collector's gem — a warm reminder of the era when DC's funny pages were every bit as vibrant as their superhero titles.
