David

Debuting in the pages of Judge magazine back in 1926 — deep in the Platinum Age of comics — David is a character with roots stretching nearly a century, a quietly remarkable span that carries him all the way through to 2016. Created by W. G. Farr, he's turned up across a wonderfully eclectic range of publications, from DC Comics: Bombshells to Dennis the Menace and the Bible Kids, sharing pages with some genuinely iconic company: Dorothy Gale, The Cowardly Lion, The Scarecrow, Robin, and Dennis the Menace himself. It's a small but fascinatingly varied footprint in the catalog — the kind of character that rewards the curious collector willing to dig into comics history's more surprising corners.
