Harold Highborne

A creature of the early Bronze Age DC universe, Harold Highborne made his debut in the pages of Date with Debbi #14 in 1971, stepping into the light-hearted teen romance world that DC was cultivating alongside superhero fare. Created by John Albano and Stan Goldberg, he's part of a charming social circle that includes Debbi Anderson, Buddy Baxter, and the wonderfully named Benedict Whipple — the kind of colorful ensemble that made these books such breezy fun. His presence stretched across roughly fifteen years and even earned him a spot in The Best of DC, a sure sign that the character left an impression worth revisiting. A modest but genuine piece of DC's teen-humor legacy, Harold Highborne is exactly the sort of discovery that reminds collectors how rich and varied the Bronze Age really was.
