Yankee Doodle Pigeon

Few characters can claim a debut as delightfully unexpected as Yankee Doodle Pigeon — a Silver Age creation who first took wing in Leave It to Binky #69 in 1969, courtesy of artist Bob Oksner. Published by Polystyle Publications, this plucky bird carved out a small but memorable niche across Countdown and Leave It to Binky, sharing pages with the likes of Dick Dastardly, Muttley, and Captain Blue. With only three catalog appearances and one recognized key issue to the name, Yankee Doodle Pigeon is a genuine rarity — a compact, charming footnote of the late Silver Age that rewards the curious collector willing to dig a little deeper.
