Johnny Morgan

Johnny Morgan is a minor supporting character from Sheldon Mayer's slice-of-life teen comics, inhabiting the same cheerful postwar world as Binky Biggs and friends across Scribbly and Leave It to Binky.

Sheldon Mayer — the cartoonist's cartoonist — introduced Johnny Morgan to DC readers in 1950, right in the pages of Scribbly, one of the most charming and distinctly human corners of Golden Age comics. Johnny's world is a warm, slice-of-life one, populated by the likes of Binky Biggs, Jill Blake, and Peggy Baxter across Leave It to Binky and Scribbly during the early fifties. With only a handful of catalogued appearances, he's a genuine rarity — a quiet piece of that sun-drenched postwar DC universe that rewarded readers who preferred laughs and neighborhood camaraderie over capes. For collectors who love the offbeat, unhurried side of the Golden Age, Johnny Morgan is exactly the kind of find that makes digging through old longboxes worthwhile.
