Gerry

Few characters can claim to have been there from the very first page of a beloved Golden Age DC series, but Gerry can — debuting in Leave It to Binky #1 back in 1948, brought to life by the talented trio of Hal Seegar, Sheldon Mayer, and Bob Oksner. Part of the cheerful, wholesome world of teen humor comics that DC embraced in the postwar years, Gerry shares the page with a lively cast including Binky Biggs, Soozie, Peggy Baxter, Uncle Snootly, and Dopey. With five catalog appearances and two of them flagged as collector-significant key issues, Gerry may be a compact presence in the comics record, but one with genuine Golden Age pedigree worth seeking out.
