Marybelle

Marybelle is a non-powered teen comedy character who debuted in DC's postwar humor series Leave It to Binky, sharing lighthearted slice-of-life adventures with characters like Binky Biggs and Clover Cooley in a classic Golden Age teen-comic setting.

Golden Age charm radiates from Marybelle, a DC character who made her debut in Leave It to Binky #4 back in 1948, stepping into a postwar comics landscape that had a genuine appetite for lighthearted, slice-of-life fun. She's kept lively company over the years — sharing pages with the likes of Binky Biggs, Scribbly Jibbet, Clover Cooley, Fatso, and Buster — and her 68 catalogued appearances, spread across marquee DC titles like Action Comics, Adventure Comics, and Detective Comics, speak to a character with surprising reach beyond her teen-humor origins. Two of those appearances carry key-issue status, making her more than just a footnote for serious Golden Age collectors. If you love the warmth and wit of mid-century DC storytelling, Marybelle is a delightful discovery waiting to be made.
