Who is Canary?

Canary is a DC war comics character who served alongside Sgt. Rock and Easy Company in the trenches of World War II, debuting during the Silver Age height of DC's celebrated combat titles.

Born in the thick of the Silver Age under the legendary creative hands of Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert, Canary made their debut in Our Army at War #151 in 1965 β€” right in the heart of DC's celebrated war comics era. Over a span of roughly twenty years, this character carved out a place alongside some of the most iconic figures in DC's combat universe, sharing the trenches with Sgt. Rock, Bulldozer, Jackie Johnson, and Little Sure Shot. It's a mark of real staying power that Canary earned an entry in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe, the ultimate roll call of DC's worthy β€” and collectors will want to note at least one key issue among their appearances. A compact but genuine piece of DC's war comics legacy, Canary is a rewarding find for anyone who loves the gritty, beautifully illustrated battlefield storytelling that defined an era.
