So well researched. I really appreciate these historical flashbacks.

Alex 😃 Very enjoyable and informative!👍 I am a big Edgar Rice Burroughs fan and learned some new information about his impact on comic books (specifically, the Ka-Zar connection).

Fantastic! I've thought about some of the same things you have in your video. Nowhere near as many parallels as you have drawn however. I learned a great deal that I had not heard or realized before. One additional parallel: Doc Savage had a vest with lots of pockets that held all sorts of chemicals and small useful items. I looked at the vest as being an early version of Batman's utility belt. Thank you for this excellent overview. I will definitely be looking forward to additional entries in your series.

A point, if I may. The cover of Amazing Stories that you show next to the illustration of Buck Rogers is the correct one for the first 'Buck' story, but that ISN'T Anthony Rogers. It is Richard Seaton from Doc Smith's first story: The Skylark of Space.

Exactly. Skylark is the character on the cover of the issue that contains the first Anthony Rogers story.

The Crimson Avenger (DC) was also heavily modeled after The Shadow; so much so that Street & Smith (publisher of The Shadow) threatened legal action against National Periodicals, at which point Crimson Avenger lost his twin .45s and fedora, and took on more of an early costumed superhero look.

I re-read John Carter of Mars a while ago and did wonder if that had inspired Superman! Very interesting to see that there were influences or domino effects caused prior to Doc Savage and The Shadow.

Springfield Jack? An obvious inspiration for the Simpson universe....

There's another Suicide Squad, a 1935 poverty row action film about a group of firemen who tackle the more difficult sorts of fires. David Letterman used it on his morning show as the feature "Coffee Cup Theatre", where he'd show a couple of minutes of the picture each week, including a recap of the previous chapters; it took him a couple of months to get beyond the opening credits, and by the time he was cancelled I think he'd only made it about five minutes into the movie proper.

Top of the heap - 1930s and 1940s - a pulp starring The Spider, which publisher Stan Lee handed off to Steve Ditko, who made Spider-Man out of it all.

Dr. Midnight also copies much of The Black Bat origin. Going blind, regains his sight although with special glasses. The Special Glasses also show up in movie The Boy with X-Ray eyes originally credited to make a blind person see, also with Geordi Laforge on Star Trek the next Generation.

Spring Heeled Jack was never a vigilante fighting criminals. His usual MO was harassing lone women, scratching at their clothes with metal claws and then bounding away. Other than the illustration being reminiscent of Batman's design, that's too much of a reach. He was never a heroic/anti-heroic figure he was a sex-pest.
