The Lost Heroes of Holyoke

Holyoke was a small comic book publisher in the 1940s. Even though they were a small line, some of their books are most sought after by collectors.

If it's one thing I've learned from studying comics, it's that each one represents the hard work of its creators. Even the obscure ones must have taken great effort to make, and should not be forgotten. Miss Victory was kicking butt with Wonder Woman back then. She's a part of the graphic novel I've been working on (or at least her granddaughter), along with an assortment of other golden agers. Once again, I much appreciate the time you've taken to remind us about all the great heroes we don't celebrate anymore, and why we still should.

[@FizzFop1]

Hi James! Keep me up to date on your graphic novel. I'm working on a couple of scripts myself. Also, I'm trying to get my drawing skills up to a respectable level. One of the things I want to do is network with others who are doing this. I'm sure there's a lot of pitfalls I need to look out for.

[@AvengerII]

@Skye Dragon7 Nobody has the rights to characters that are public domain. AC Comics created spin-offs of some golden age heroes but they don't own the originals. Blue Beetle, on the other hand, is trademarked and copyright of DC Comics. The original Golden Age Blue Beetle comics AND the Charlton/Dan Garrett issues may not be protected by copyright. Blue Beetle is in a quasi-PD state; note that I'm referring to the Dan Garret(t) version of The Blue Beetle, not Ted Kord or Jaime Reyes who are still under copyright protection. AC Comics reprinted some Charlton material including unpublished comics prior to DC Comics acquiring the Charlton heroes (The Question, Ted Kord/Blue Beetle, and Captain Atom). The big "DC debut" for these characters and their supporting cast was in the Crisis on Infinite Earths limited series. I never heard of Holyoke Publishing. Blue Beetle to my understanding was published by Fox Comics before the character ended up at Charlton Comics in the 1950s. There are tons of comics Marvel and DC don't want you to know are public domain; they've trademarked and copyrighted the likenesses of a bunch of Golden Age characters (most notably the original Marvel Family who I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to call the Shazam Family!) but the original comics themselves were not copyright renewed in the 1960s and 1970s when they came up for renewal. They'd love to be able to resell those comics but A) half of them at least need restoration work, even if it's half-assed; and B) they're competing against 25+ years of the world wide web where aware fans were posting public domain/rights-lapsed comics already! There are companies like AC Comics and PS Art Books that have done reprints of public domain golden age comic books but in the case of one character (Phantom Lady) PS Art Books did NOT do their reprint volumes (2 for her; I own them) before contacting DC Comics. DC owns that character but it's a courtesy to contact the owner before you do reprints. They do allow reprints under certain situations but the ownership of the character has to be acknowledged even if the reprint stories are public domain!

[@AvengerII]

@Skye Dragon7 The laws are murky. It's been made worse by corporations petitioning Congress to extend the copyrights on their existing characters. Mickey Mouse should be public domain but isn't. Superman technically technically doesn't fall under lapse because Siegel & SHuster haven't been dead 30 years and the Siegel family lawsuit against DC in the late 20th century (shortly after Jerry died) muddies the waters more. The sad reality is these corporations can petition (re: bribe) Congress again and get yet another extension on their IP copyrights. Most of these other characters should NOT be under copyright. The sad reality is that the characters are recognized as "corporate creations." The only reason why half the creators is because fans did the research and fans (many of who worked within the industry in the past) asked these questions.

[@jamessimms3449]

It's more of a passion project. I've been having so much fun reimagining these characters, and plotting their stories into one. I've bought one of those do-it-yourself comic books from Target, and have begun syncing the script with the panels. I'll start with the illustrations once I got the script finished. It's a long process, but one I'm happy to take my time on. I'm glad to hear you all are doing the same. Good luck, everyone!

[@ShinDangaioh]

@@AvengerII Actually all of Charlton's characters are in the Public Domain. Charlton did not do a good job at putting the copyright notice in. DC owns the trademarks, but the actual stories are Public Domain. That's the real reason DC killed off Ted Kord and the Question.

Love these behind the scenes stories! And they really refute the idea that women weren't a part of comics in the earlier days. Either in the magazines, or behind the scenes. (tried looking up that editor 'Raye Herman' ? but had too many similar names to sift through). I'm sure there's an interesting story there too.

[@FizzFop1]

Hi you2099! During World War II, most of the male population (age 18-40) was drafted into the military. There were a lot of women working in comics. One of my favorite stories is that of Lilly Renee. She created Werewolf Hunter for Fiction House. She was an Austrian refugee who fled when the Germans took over.

Nice! I suppose also worth mentioning is that although DC is publishing Blue Beetle comics, they don’t own the original version of the Blue Beetle due to Mystery Men Comics not being renewed in time, so that Dan Garret version is in public domain, though it has to be ensured no fan puts the name Blue Beetle on any of their covers due to DC owning the trademark.

[@Jamesalec63]

Cat-Man in the early days was a hero when he moved to Dc Comics he probably still retained his heroic title for a while then had a reboot and became a villain(1970s) but what is interesting is his powers from a tiger in the old story but I think he was transformed in a cat like creature along the way his powers are that of every cat and he has other powers as well or he did? Tiger Man was another character in comics to than there's Bronze Tiger and Black Panther and back to Cat Man what happened to his original sidekick Kitten i have a strange loop here for her she is Batman's mother or possibly Robins? But it is strange that she has never be see since in comics or did she become someone else either way there's no tale about lost sidekicks or them related to other hero's? The Cat(Bat} Man story are so similar but both are friends originally in the stories later to become ememies and that's characters in common with shared history or similar origin stories?

[@bostonrailfan2427]

DC’s Catman has no connection to Cat-Man except name and costume colors…they took on the abandoned name and design but created a different, better backstory, and built him into a good antihero

[@FizzFop1]

Hi Skot! Thanks for watching! Yeah, DC made their own version of Catman. I have to check up when they created him, but I think it was long after Holyoke went under. There's a couple of other versions of Catman out there...currently Dynamite uses him in their Project Superpowers books. There was an indie publisher in the 70s with a Catman character. AC Comics published him in the 80s and 90s. There was an Australian version in the 1960s. So, when it comes to this character-it's a free for all.

@@FizzFop1 there's a Catboy in PJMasks, but the colors are so exactly the same. If i were to make a DIFFERENT Catman, i'd chose different colors. I have a feeling that somehow DC got this directly from them somehow. same artist? same creator hired at DC? just a nod of a fan? I was reading Star Wars 2015-2019 comics, and there is a character that is partially lizard, and if you kill him, he just resurrects in a robotic chamber elsewhere, and his name was CYLO IV (obviously visual nod to CYLON from BSG)
