Description

Here is the very first appearance of Captain Wizard - how often can you find the first page appearance of a Golden Age superhero -- he appeared in:

Captain Wizard Comics #1
Red Band Comics #3-4
Meteor Comics #1

Who was he:

When war veteran Joseph Preston is unjustly accused of murder, he hides from the police in a wax museum. He is discovered by a magician named Theophrastus Bombastus Paracelsus. The magician instantly sees that the vet is innocent, so he gives him a magical cloak and tells him to "be off, do good." The cloak gives whoever wears it invulnerability and allows them to fly. He also posessed super strength and did not require sleep. From then on, Joesph Preston was Captain Wizard. Later, he is assisted by Baldy Bean. He can also change from his costume to civilian clothes by shouting "Abracadabra".

Magical time period full of wonder full of innocence. Just as the atomic age was coming and the need for super heroes would begin to wane.
