The 60 Year Legacy of the Blue Beetle The Blue Beetle comics published by Fox in the 1940's and 50's were not the end of the line for the Blue Beetle character. Hector is connected to the Blue Beetle by more than just his name and symbol; in Roy Thomas's Infinity Inc. sequel to the story "The Eye of Horus", Hector's mind was taken over by the Eye of Ra. As told in a story in the new Justice Society of America comic book, he was born to an unidentified woman who was brought to a hospital after she was found submerged in a lake, but alive, and comatose. www.wonderworldcomics.com /bluebeetle/Legacy.html   (1636 words)

Blue Beetle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Charlton Comics obtained the rights to the Blue Beetle, reprinted several of the Fox created stories in some of their anthology titles, and gave him briefly his own title in 1955 (numbered #18-21). This Beetle was an archaeologist who obtained a number of superhuman powers (including enhanced strength, flight and the ability to generate lightning) from a mystical scarab he fought in Egypt. Beetle appeared for a time in Birds of Prey, since he was a favorite of Birds of Prey writer Chuck Dixon. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Blue_Beetle   (1914 words)

Justice League Unlimited #5 Review - Silver Bullet Comics The original Blue Beetle was Dan Garret a hero of the thirties and forties who walked around in a suit of chainmail and fought saboteurs and plug-uglies. Except, this idea of class is a myth grounded mostly in post-Crisis comic books which try to be more realistic and ultimately fail thanks to a premise that is entirely or mostly unrealistic: men and women with powers and skills far beyond those of mortal men fighting crime. Beetle next tries to delay the loon and through flips and vaults stay out of his way until the cavalry arrives. www.silverbulletcomicbooks.com /reviews/110517024178487.htm   (479 words)

Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Beetle Bailey It's hard to say precisely when and where Beetle Bailey first appeared — or even what his name was back then. The syndicate made only one alteration — the protagonist's name was changed to "Beetle" Bailey, possibly because spiders are deemed too industrious to represent such a character. Beetle Bailey also appeared in comic books, from 1953-80 (with a few brief gaps), first from Dell Comics, then Gold Key, King, Charlton, then back to Gold Key. www.toonopedia.com /beetle.htm   (569 words)

The Comics Curmudgeon » Beetle Bailey Since Beetle Bailey has a well-known affection for single-panel strips that presumably take less time to draw, you’d think the strip could at least offer mega-panel Sunday editions that would allow more loving detail to be lavished on Miss Buxley’s breasts. Normally, I try to avoid just calling out comics artists on their failings, on the logic that they’re human too, etc., but really, Walker brothers (or whoever you are): this is just pitiful.

Definition of Blue Beetle The Blue Beetle is a fictional superhero published by DC Comics. The first Blue Beetle was created by Fox Features Syndicate; the rights to the name and character were sold to Charlton Comics, who were in turn bought by DC Comics, who introduced their own Blue Beetle.

Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Blue Beetle The recent Blue Beetle is Ted Kord, an electronics genius and millionaire industrialist along the lines of Marvel Comics' Iron Man — a guy able to design all kinds of nifty techno-gadgets that a superhero would find handy, who also has enough money to build them. This version of The Blue Beetle was created by Steve Ditko, whose other credits include Doctor Strange, The Creeper and Spider-Man. Scripter Gary Friedrich did dialog for his early appearances, but the plot and concept were pure Ditko. He had a DC comic of his own from 1986-88, and has held down membership in the Justice League (where he and Booster Gold, also a DC character of the '80s, became pals) as well as doing the usual guest appearances, specials, back-up stories, etc. www.toonopedia.com /beetle3.htm   (477 words)

Chicago Reader: Hot Type   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) Beetle Bailey is one of the most successful strips in the history of American cartooning. In late 1998 the Tribune asked its readers to vote on which comics they liked, and males of all ages among the small, self-selected, arguably meaningless sample of readers who responded put Beetle Bailey first. Beetle Bailey had been gone only a couple of days when T.R. "Rocky" Shepard III, president of King Features, came to the tower and met with Brown. www.chireader.com /hottype/2002/020726_1.html   (1064 words)

Victor Fox, pg. 2 Created by Charles Wojtkowski (Charles Nicholas), the Blue Beetle was derivative of the Green Hornet and was to spawn another colorful insect hero with the Red Bee in Hit Comics when Eisner created a new universe of characters for Quality Comics in early 1940. As opposed to the monosyllabic and taciturn Blue Beetle, the Green Mask was a rather glib fellow. Blue Beetle comic for Holyoke was cover dated June 1942 (#12). www.comicartville.com /victorfoxpg2.htm   (3104 words)

Charlton Comics Charlton was a company that was based out of Derby, Conneticut, unusual in that they owned their own printing press (albeit not a very good one, as it had previously been used to print cereal boxes). They bought the rights to the character of the Blue Beetle of another company, and through the late sixties and early seventies published their own line of superhero comics. Captain Atom, Blue Beetle (II), Nightshade and the Question made a brief return to comics in 1983 when Americomics licensed them and teamed them up for one issue as the Sentinels of Justice. www.internationalhero.co.uk /c/charlton.htm   (252 words)

In "The Threat From Saturn" Blue Beetle teams up with an Italian peanut vendor to fight the criminal duo of Glock and Saturnia (a bald ogre and an evil glamour gal) as they manipulate a cult of elephant-worshippers into rioting throughout the city.

Digital Webbing Forums - Countdown to Infinite Crisis Booster Gold and Blue Beetle were the first 2 DC comics titles I bought regularly, and it's about time somebody wrote them well. I've gone back and bought most of the Silver Age Blue Beetle comics as a result of my appreciation for the character. I'll probably skip most of the "event" and stick with a few comics that don't go all over board on it, just as long as they don't screw up batman and the batfamily any more, it's just getting old having batman totally draw himself away from the family just to regroup a year later. www.digitalwebbing.com /forums/showthread.php?p=749084   (590 words)
