Air Wave-Murray Boltinoff/Harris Levy/Charles Paris-1942


Writer/editor Murray Boltinoff appears as himself in this murder mystery featuring third tier DC hero Air Wave. The character appeared in DETECTIVE COMICS in the early forties and was tied into the modern DCU by virtue of the fact that his name was Jordan as in Hal (Green Lantern) Jordan. His son became the modern Air Wave in 1978 but he was never a major player either.

This particular cover story illustration of Air Wave (circa 1943), shows the original creator/illustrator of Air Wave, Harris Levey (aka Lee Harris) sitting at his drafting table with a surprised expression on his face, in response to seeing his own creation jump right "out" of the page.
