Well I'm guessing that since his stories were discontinued due to a lawsuit ... and Fawcett/DC is in the "wrong direction"... Timely Comics sued the company for copyright infringement?

Was the cover appearance too close to Superman's Action Comics for DC's liking?

thoth keeps getting so close, so I'm just going to give it to him.

Fred Carson was Wonder Man, who holds the distinction of having been the *first* character to have generated a lawsuit for copyright infringement on Superman. He was pretty clearly created by Fox Publications to capitalize on Superman's success. He was created, and his sole appearance was written and drawn, by none other than Will Eisner!

I’m late to the party unfortunately but that was my favorite type of Trivia Thread question - fun to think up an answer for AND teaches me an interesting factoid!

Good going EDE!

I think this should be adopted as a rule. I should just have to get close. smile

Ah, that was Wonder Man. I'd read about him. I don't think I knew about the Eisner connection though. Comics we'll never see more of.

New Q as soon as I'm at my books, and after I've found a *!$* Titans question....

heh. Loads of pressure on the next clown who has to ask a question and meet *those* standards....ah heck... smile


I'm looking for a question. I *do* have a factoid to tide you over! And it links to recent questions too!

Following the success of Richard Greene in the 1950s Adventures of Robin Hood TV show, at least 7 comic companies launched Robin Hood Comics (see Robin Hood question), as there was no copyright (see Wonder Man above). DC , Magazine Enterprises, Charlton, Quality, Dell, Gilberton's Classics Illustrated and ACG all launched Robin Hood titles.

Ibby has 4, including a tough one, and should look for a little clue in how I had to word the question to help with the answer.

Andy has 1 right, but two other names are just beside the wrong Olsen.

It is the line up! Porcupines must get loads of iron in their diet for Rokk to be using their quills. This was before Timberwolf, so I would have guessed a Jekyll & Hyde formula swigging Brainy for the Wolf Man smile

Over to you Ibby!

That was a "cute" story. Rokk was using his magnetism to fire the quills, if I remember right.

okay...

Which four Justice Leaguers were fired by Rolf Heimlich?
