Mr. Birdnest

Few characters capture the cozy, character-stuffed warmth of Golden Age DC quite like Mr. Birdnest, who stepped onto the page in Sheldon Mayer's beloved Scribbly #3 in 1948. Mayer's Scribbly was one of DC's most charming and idiosyncratic titles of the era, and Mr. Birdnest found himself in lively company alongside the likes of Scribbly Jibbet, Sisty Hunkel, and a cast of wonderfully named neighborhood personalities. With only a handful of appearances to his name, he's a genuine rarity — a small but authentic piece of a delightful corner of the Golden Age that collectors of Mayer's work will be glad to track down.
