Nancy

Nancy is a spunky, mischievous young girl known for her round, bushy hair and everyday childhood misadventures. She shares her world with her best friend Sluggo and lives with her Aunt Fritzi Ritz, whose own comic strip Nancy originally spun out of.

Few comic characters have the staying power of Nancy, the plucky little girl who first charmed readers in Sparkler Comics #5 back in 1942, brought to the page by Bernard Dibble during the Golden Age of comics. Over an extraordinary span stretching more than eight decades, she's graced the pages of beloved titles like Nancy and Sluggo, Nancy, and Tip Top Comics under the Dell banner — a testament to just how deeply she resonated with generations of readers. Her world is a rich one, sharing the page with the likes of Sluggo, and even crossing paths with Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, and Linus Van Pelt, making her corner of comics feel like a warm, well-worn neighborhood you'll want to revisit. With a key issue to her name and 58 catalog appearances spanning nearly a century, Nancy is a Golden Age gem well worth seeking out.
