What a nice idea! As somebody with a Spider-Man specific channel, there are lots of things I'd love to make videos on, but can't because there's no connection to Spider-Man.

Good work sir, I enjoyed this.

Just found this channel (thanks to BlueSky) and excited to join you on this journey!

I had never even heard of Wing until i read Stargirl: the Lost Children. that was a great introduction to the character.

An asian valet to a white superhero ? Isn't this just Cato from the Green Hornet ?

That’s Steve Ditko not Bill Finger

Bronze Age Superman isn’t a new Superman. The Bronze Age used the same Earth-1 & 2 continuities as before

7 s0ldiers of victory were really in comics in the day, the7were not made up to remember the golden age..

Always liked the Crimson Avenger. Good vid!

50:50 Wth? It can be pronounced?

"Bizarro say he likes it, so I don't see a problem." Idk if that's the joke, but Bizarro says the opposite of what he feels.

are we really not going to talk about how Martha had another husband

Unfortunately, they reversed the stereotype when they made The Green Hornet movie. Kato was shown to be great at everything he did while the Hornet was an idiot when it came to doing most anything. Hornet's fighting skills never improved during the whole movie. If the movie producers would have Hornet do some correct combat moves in the last fight, they could have shown that Hornet was making progress in his hero journey. No one really likes a movie where the hero just gets superpowers and insteadly is an expert at using them (i.e. Captain Marvel and Rey "Skywalker ") or the hero is totally incompetent throughout a "serious " movie.

You missed some of the later history of the Crimson Avenger. After his death, a black woman became the second Crimson Avenger. She explained that the symbol of his chest was did not represent a sun, but a bullet hole. She indicated that he had been shot in the chest, but was vague as to whether or not he dued. She also appeared to have been shot in the chest. She had possession of the two guys CA used in his early days with the hywayman costume. The guns were cursed so she could never get rid of them. The guns would shoot evil/bad people on their own. This version of Crimson Avenger appeared in the long running JSA comic book which started in the 1990s.

1:45 who are you talking about when you say “their story”?

I would love to see more videos on Gardner Fox

One of my favorites. And they were bastards at DC to not give him health coverage. Just a disposable serf. I did learn a few good things about the man from your video. Didn't realize his novels came after his comics work. Still a fan of the four novels of his Kyrik, Warlock Warrior series. Not as good as Conan, but I read then fondly.

I remember that story as about his last mission. However, you forgot to mention that on his way to the ship he saves the life of an Hispanic little boy and is remembered for that.

What about Plastic Man I heard old heads say the main artist was the best golden age artist

Kind of skipped over the fact that the Seven Soldiers of Victory first appeared in the Golden age in Leading Comics. Video makes it seem it was created later as an homage to the old characters which it was not.

It should be noted that comical sidekicks were common in the early years of comics, Wildcat had Stretch Skinner, Plastic Man had Woozy Winks, Sargon the Sorcerer had Maximillian O'Leary, were all just as bad, or good as, Wing How, or Ebony White. They weren’t minorities, so it’s okay to make fun of them? DC Comics did have at least a couple of non comical Asian characters in the'40's, Wong, from Detective Comics #38-#39, and Stuff the Chinatown Kid, sidekick of the Vigilante. Also, Charlie Chan was never bumbling, although Hollywood never had an Asian actor play the role. Same with the similar character Mr. Moto.

Ghosts were common then. Apparently Bill Finger thought he was at the "top" of Bob Kane's ghosts, and therefore the "creator," which is nonsense. What I want to focus on at the moment is Jerry Robinson's humor in submitting the name for Batman's "son" Robin - as in Robinson. I'm surprised that Kane didn't reject it.

The art teams of the decades later origin story of the Crimson Avenger needs a mention. Lots of mad research has created living dictionaries with fans, the Earth Two complete history. Thank You for an additional page, info relayed for fun...subscribing

I like the golden age and All-Star Squadron appearances best.

Rember early Blackhawk team member Chop Chop.Or Spirit side kick Ebony who save many times. Or the Villain called the Claw.

Rember early Blackhawk with Chop Chop or the villain the Claw.Also one of the first cartoons was Funny the First was Dinny the Dinosaur. More Fun was called New Fun.

I consider Lois & Jimmy 2 of the absolute best supporting characters in comic history. #ILoveJimmy

Love how You added the upgraded the Good Doctor He is not Lost to Us.

In Leading Comics Crimson Avenger was a particularly a leader of the group.

Crimson Avengers was the First superhero in Detective Comics. Yep a ripoff of Green Hornet. Later into a union super suit with Wing. I like how they gave him an Honoring death in the boat to save the City.it's

Mr. Fox was a person you could talk to at DC when they were at 575 Lexington Ave. N.Y. He also help to produce the 1964 Comcon with free goodies and words to the wisdom. Make this event fun for the fans.Thank You for this Well written story of Mr. Fox a friend of Fandom.

Agreed that Jimmy Olson is the everyman he had his own drum beat. Even in the TV series he was a person and not a fool. Even Mr. Kirby had treated him well. Rember he out sold Batman comics back in the 60s. Thank You for Your View.

One of the reasons the DCEU fell apart was because it treated Jimmy Olsen as a throwaway character when as stated in this video he’s so much more with what he brings as a simple everyman to a larger more fantastical world. Even if it’s a minor character I hope we get to see what he’s like across multiple projects in James Gunn’s new DCU

says "adorkable" gets a like 👍

Rick Jones is better

The fact that Siegel wrote for italian disney comics never fails to be a wild fact

Good ol Jimmy, what a pal.

Jimmy’s dad looks like Deathstroke in that one panel

My favorite Jimmy Olsen moment even after really getting into the character over the years, all over different eras, is probably still that scene from Secret Origin where Clark first meets him as Superman on the rooftop of the Daily Planet as Jimmy was contemplating leaving the city in failure and Clark relating to and befriending him, before doing Jimmy a favor by letting him take the world's first photo of Superman. It perfectly captured why Jimmy's important for the Superman supporting cast, he's the little guy, the everyman, who in a way represents us the most. While Clark has family, a wife and friends among other heroes, his "ordinary" friends show how grounded and human he is, and yet at the same time shows how inspiring he can be. Jimmy is the perfect example of that. This same Jimmy, uplifted by Superman, would go on to become a great team with Clark and Lois, go on adventures that involves him helping his friend and hero and transforming into all kinds of stuff. I love MAWS' take and I'm excited to see the theatrical films do him justice now too.

I believe I heard it on "Casually Comics" that the version of Jimmy Olsen (played by Jack Larson) in the Superman TV show proved to be so popular that DC gave the character his own book. So Jimmy's title actually predates Lois Lane's book.

I like most fanboys would never nitpick about small details but in that recent Jimmy Olsen series Jimmy was the youngest of three siblings not the oldest.

Follow me into the comments, everybody! Who's YOUR favorite version of Jimmy Olsen? 👽📸🤨

Never saw anyone talking about the original founder before this You got yourself a new subscriber

I love the golden age! We got classic first appearences and unique art we don't see these days and you could pick any issue and you wouldn't feel lost like nowadays Back when a death, a first issue and a new villain meant something

He actually predates DC. dr Occult came out in 1935. DC was created in 1937.

Beautiful video!

DC should be paying their families to this day

The Seven soldiers were published in the golden age. They were not invented in the 70s to represent the goldeb age. They were in Leading Comics.
