DC’s first mystery man!
Before they created Superman, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster created DC’s first proto-superhero, Doctor Occult, The Ghost Detective! For the inaugural episode of our new podcast focusing on DC superheroes, we take a look at the first character to exist in what later became known as the DC ‘universe’.
Reviewing “The Vampire Master” from New Fun Comics #6 (October 1935, by Siegel and Shuster), All-Star Squadron #49 (September 1985, by Roy Thomas, Mike Harris, Vince Colletta, Tony DeZuniga), and Books of Magic #1 (December 1990, by Neil Gaiman and John Bolton).
A new episode of SLAM! drops two or three times per month on Mondays, from Comic Book Syndicate on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Facebook, Youtube, and on our website.
