A doubleheader today from a 1955 BLUE BEETLE comic. First we see our hero running across a telephone line carrying intrepid girl reporter Joan behind him (star reporter of the Daily Planet, we're told) to the point where she is literally wafting in his wake! Later on in the same story we see ...

booksteveslibrary.blogspot.com 7 days ago — Not all THAT weird this time around, I guess but still...How often does one see a comic book superhero--in this case the decidedly lower tier DC hero AIR WAVE--admit (as he does here in a late DETECTIVE COMICS appearance) that another hero might have been better for the rescue he just ...
