Peg

Peg is a teenage comedic character who debuted in DC's humor title Buzzy, appearing in gag-strip stories aimed at a young audience. She later turned up across various DC teen-humor titles, including Leave It to Binky.

Peg made her DC debut in Buzzy #30 in 1950, a Golden Age introduction crafted by Jack Schiff and Irwin Hasen that quietly launched a presence in comics stretching an impressive seven decades. Over those 74 years she's turned up across a wonderfully eclectic range of DC titles — from the teen-humor world of Leave It to Binky to the storied pages of Adventure Comics and Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane — sharing issues with icons like Superman, Clark Kent, and Lois Lane herself. Two of her appearances carry key-issue status, a mark of genuine collector significance for a character whose longevity alone speaks volumes. For fans who love digging into the full, rich tapestry of the DC universe beyond the capes and cowls, Peg is exactly the kind of discovery that makes the hunt worthwhile.
