Timmy Joe Terrapin

Slow and steady wins the spotlight — Timmy Joe Terrapin is a charming corner of DC's Bronze Age, debuting in the landmark first issue of Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew! in 1982, brought to life by the creative trio of Roy Thomas, Scott Shaw!, and Ross Andru. Part of DC's beloved funny-animal universe, Timmy Joe shares his adventures alongside the likes of Captain Carrot, Fastback, Rubberduck, and Peter Porkchops, even crossing paths with Green Lantern in a world where superhero whimsy and comic-book craft go hand in hand. His presence in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe confirms he earned a real place in DC's official mythology, not just a walk-on role. With a key issue to his name and a run stretching into the late '80s, Timmy Joe is a delightful find for collectors who love the playful, inventive side of the Bronze Age.
