Who is Herb Simms?

Herb Simms made his entrance in the very first issue of Sensation Comics in 1942 — one of the most storied debut issues in all of Golden Age DC, a comic that also introduced Wonder Woman to the world. Created by the legendary William Marston and Harry Peter, Herb is a supporting player woven into the fabric of DC's earliest heroic mythology, sharing pages across his appearances with icons like Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Terry Sloane. His footprint is modest — 14 catalogued appearances spread across Sensation Comics, Bizarro Comics, and All-Star Squadron — yet three of those appearances carry key-issue status, a reminder that even a character on the edges of history can leave a collector-significant mark. For fans who love tracing the deep roots of the DC universe back to its wartime Golden Age origins, Herb Simms is a genuine piece of the foundation.
