Sherwood

Sherwood Van Roy is a non-powered humor-comic character who debuted in DC's teen comedy series Leave It to Binky, where he serves as a recurring rival and antagonist to the main cast. He has no superhuman abilities — his role is rooted firmly in the everyday social rivalries of mid-century teenage life.

Sherwood made their DC Comics debut in 1948's Leave It to Binky #3, stepping onto the page right in the heart of the Golden Age and sticking around for a remarkable 38 years — a testament to the enduring charm of DC's lighter, humor-driven side. A fixture across Leave It to Binky, Binky's Buddies, and Binky, Sherwood shares panels with a colorful crowd including Allergy Biggs, Bertram Biggs, and the whole Biggs family, with even Clark Kent dropping by on occasion. With 63 catalog appearances and six recognized key issues to their name, this is a character who quietly built a real legacy in the teen-humor corner of DC's universe — the kind of deep-cut Golden Age find that rewards the curious collector willing to dig a little deeper than the capes and cowls.
