Crawford C. Crow

Few characters can claim a Golden Age debut in an ashcan edition, but Crawford C. Crow has exactly that distinction — surfacing in DC's Real Screen Funnies #1 back in 1945, a collector-significant issue in its own right. Created by Jim Davis, this crow made his home primarily across Real Screen Comics and its ashcan companion, keeping lively company with the one and only Fauntleroy Fox throughout the late 1940s and into the mid-1950s. His catalog footprint is small but choice, and for fans who love the funny-animal charm of DC's Golden Age, Crawford C. Crow is a delightful little piece of comics history worth seeking out.
