Obscuralia six

In a turnaround from Obscuralia five's singular focus on Ndoki and guests, this one will cover several western characters, three detectives, a couple of archers and a viking.

 

With a name like June Justis why isn't she still being used? I'm leaving that G-Woman bit alone, nope, not going there. From New Adventure #22 (December 1937). An earlier G-Woman named Hope Hazard debuted in Detective Comics #3 (March 1937). June Justis and Hope Hazard, with names like those they need to meet. They need to meet.

  

Inspector Kent of Scotland Yard,  come on, why did this guy fall by the wayside? There are so many possibilities there. John Ostander's Kents II, the European sequel. From Detective Comics #19 (September 1938).

  

  

Why not just name him "generic renegade"? Seriously the only reason to buy this book is the backup feature starring El Diablo. The Outlaw debuted in All-Star Western #2 (October 1970).

 

How does she ride a horse while wearing that skirt? And how does she make her guns shoot colors like that. Two Gun Lil is quality, as in a Quality Comics alumni. So DC Comics may not even know or care that they own the character. From Crack Comics #63 (November 1949).

 

The "town that was never robbed", because they built it in a dark underground cave. Hey guy, what is up with that hat, and you know, the whole shooting blindly into a crowded room thing? The Wyoming Kid debuted in Western Comics #1 (January 1948).

  

Now this guy I want to see more of, Phineas Pike the frickin "Sea Sleuth". This dude would be brought back out of mothballs in a just world. And what I also want to know is why did Aquaman always encourage this guy? From Adventure Comics #140 (May 1949).

  

Half-Breed, John Hawk, no wonder he only had one appearance. Who would want their nickname to be the "half-breed"? Plus you know he's wearing the traditional supervillain colors, green shirt and purple pants. From Super DC Giant #15 (September 1973).

Mighty Eagle was totally cool, I have no idea how he was able to fly, but the sweaty motherfucker ran around in a giant smelly bird suit and kicked the shit out of people. I'm really trying to ignore Jimmy Olsen's mohawk. From Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen (December 1964).

Strong Bow adventured in a pre-European 15th century American wonderland and actually traveled to other dimensions using a strange portal. He's covered in Who's Who, and I think he can safely stay forgotten. Strong Bow debuted in All-Star Western #58 (April 1951).

 

Because we can never have too many archers. Wait till you see my Bonvillains post with the Rainbow Archer, Red Dart, Slingshot, Pete Lomax and Lord Kalesque, all refugees from Green Arrow's lame ass Rogues Gallery. The Marksman was a Quality Comics hero who debuted in Smash Comics #33 (May 1942).

 

Now Diana Dare, Queen Arrow I like, that is actually a cool name and a great costume. I can see her getting some Earth One love in Grant Morrison's Multiversity. BTW I love the fact that Batman: The Brave and the Bold, is set on the DCAU's Earth One. from Adventure Comics #241 (October 1957).

 

Seriously, this guy is DC's Thor,  I wonder if he ever met Sgt. Rock or Gravedigger? Viking Commando debuted in All-Out War #1 (September 1979). Yeah I'd prefer it if Shango filled that role, but the dude is a Viking with a broadaxe and a tommy gun. It's like seeing a velociraptor ride a moped, or a liberal shutting the fuck up about nuclear power. 

Seriously shut the fuck up, we need "clean nuclear power" if you want us to become a true technologically advanced society, and fully explore the solar system, or even to develop near light travel. We'll just have to disagree on capital punishment and nuclear power, hey I'm still with you on social issues, so there is that.
