More Fun Comics #52 |
More Fun Comics v1 #52, 1940 - When Detective Jim Corrigan constantly disrupts "Gat" Benson's criminal operations, the mobster kidnaps him and his girlfriend en route to their engagement party. In grisly fashion, the detective's body is put in a barrel and dumped off a pier. Unbelievably, he returns to life as a spectral avenger. Like other golden age heroes, the character only appears in costume on the cover and the story's opening panel. Jim Corrigan officially dons the costume in next issue's conclusion. This Jerry Siegel story was drawn by Bernard Baily and later reprinted in
Secret Origins v2 #5. This issue also includes art by Paul Lauretta and George Papp. Cover by Baily. ///
