Peter Panda

Peter Panda is a funny-animal children's character from DC's Golden Age, starring in his own self-titled series in the 1950s alongside a cast of young companions including Jimmy, Jane, and Foxy Dan in lighthearted, imaginative stories aimed at young readers.

A cherished corner of mid-1950s DC Comics, Peter Panda is a delightful Golden Age creation brought to life by Rube Grossman, debuting in 1953 and headlining his very own self-titled series through the latter half of the decade. Part of that warm, imaginative wave of DC's funny-animal and children's comics, he shares his pages with a lively cast including Jimmy, Jane, Foxy Dan, and the wonderfully named Binky and Allergy Biggs. A gentle rarity from an era of comics history that often gets overlooked, Peter Panda is exactly the kind of charming discovery that reminds collectors just how wide and wonderful the Golden Age truly was.
