Willie Wynn

A Golden Age original with staying power, Willie Wynn made his debut in Jungle Girl #1 back in 1942 — right at the height of Fawcett's golden era — and kept turning up in comics all the way into the 1970s, a remarkable 32-year span for any character. His catalog appearances span titles like Captain Marvel Jr., Flashback, and Holiday Comics, putting him in the colorful company of legends like Captain Marvel, Billy Batson, and Freddy Freeman. Five appearances may be a modest count, but for a character born in the wartime Golden Age who rubbed shoulders with some of Fawcett's finest, Willie Wynn is exactly the kind of hidden gem that makes digging through the back issue bins so rewarding.
