Teddy

Few characters can claim a Golden Age pedigree as storied as Teddy's — debuting in the very first issue of National Comics in 1940, brought to life by the legendary Will Eisner and Dave Berg for Quality Comics. That debut alone makes this a collector's landmark, sharing pages with icons like Uncle Sam and a colorful cast including Porky, Sunshine Jones, Suzy, and Sally O'Neil. Teddy's presence spans an remarkable arc from the Golden Age all the way through to 1987, a quiet testament to enduring appeal across nearly five decades of American comics history. With appearances across National Comics and its companion volumes, this is a character whose roots run deep into the very soil of the medium — a genuine piece of comics archaeology worth seeking out.
