Jamie Draper

A fixture of DC's postwar teen-humor scene, Jamie Draper made their debut in Leave It to Binky #1 in 1948 — a Golden Age launch that placed them right at the heart of one of DC's most charming comedy series. Running through the 1950s alongside the likes of Binky Biggs, Peggy Baxter, and the rest of that irresistible ensemble, Jamie is the kind of supporting player who gives a book its texture and warmth. With 32 catalogued appearances and a remarkable seven recognized as key collector issues, this is a character whose presence clearly mattered to the series' devoted readership. If you love the era when DC proved it could do laughs just as well as capes, Jamie Draper is absolutely worth a closer look.
