Mr. Banjo

Few characters can claim a Golden Age birth certificate signed by the legendary duo of Otto Binder and C. C. Beck, but Mr. Banjo has exactly that — debuting in Captain Marvel Adventures #22 in 1943, right in the thick of Fawcett's golden era. This rare figure shares his pages with some genuinely memorable company, including the notorious Mr. Mind and the fearsome Captain Nazi, which tells you something about the high-stakes world he inhabits. With appearances stretching remarkably from 1943 all the way to 2018, Mr. Banjo has quietly outlasted the publisher that created him, turning up in DC Comics Presents and Gwandanaland Comics along the way. A true collector's curiosity — five appearances across 75 years makes every one of them count.
