The Thing From 40 000 A.D.
Although I think this one may have reappeared in an issue of DC Comics Presents about 15/20 years later repeating exactly everything it said in that issue that it did in Superman 196.
Not DC Comics Presents (It's a team-up book, so I would know!) That looks like a cool comic, though. |

Can't believe I'd forgotten this guy: John Hawk.  On the cover (Oct. 1970 issue),  he's blurbed as "Half-Breed." |

I would have thought the infamous Mopee had only appeared the one time in Flash comics, but Keith Giffen brouhgt him back once in an issue of Ambush Bug.

That issue of 'Bug was an Enyclopediac list of obscure characters, though. I'd say Mopee counts.
I'd never heard of John Hawk, or saw that issue before. Was it a one shot?

It was a new story in that otherwise all-reprint Super DC Giant whose cover I posted above. Maybe it was originally planned as a back-up in All-Star Western? |

Antonio Ramirez a.k.a. 'Tejano'. Technically, he appeared he in three issues, but they consisted of one story that ran as a back-up feature in Jonah Hex and would have been the length of a standard comic story had they been collected.. It told the story of a Tejano (a Texas-born citizen of Mexican descent) Texas Ranger during Texas brief period as an independent nation. I thought the story, with its unusual historic setting had a lot of potential, and the character could have gone to great things. Unfortunately he was created at the point when Western comics were on the way out.  |

Justice League of America #115 is one of my favorite adventures ... and I wished they had used him again and again in future adventures because this guy is worthy for JLA to tackle. I've blamed DC Comics for not using him anymore. I even wrote to them and they did not respond me back after writing to them two times in my life. |

The Gorilla Boss of Gotham City
Kind of glad that these guys haven't reappeared recently - I'd hate to think of what DC would do to them now. Gorilla Boss appeared in World's Finest 251, Swamp Thing Annual 3 and Batman Adventures 5 & 6. He also appeared in the Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode "Gorillas in our Midst!". Which is awesome.
I suppose I could have checked to see if he had reappeared following this story, but as he died at the end of the tale I couldn't really see how. Yeah, yeah - comicbook deaths and all that, but things were different in the 50's in that dead often did mean dead. I was somewhat aware of the Gorilla Boss Cei-U cited, but I knew that had to be a different Gorilla crimelord (how many of them were there in Gotham?) since that was an Albino.

Bruce N. Wayne The Uncle that Bruce Wayne was named after. A detective who hopes he can make something out of his wastrel nephew and only ends up giving up in despair. It's strange how you learn so much about a character during the course of their adventures, but blood relations are just a blip on the screen. I mean, I know from reading old Batman comics that Bruce Wayne was a master marble player (enough so, that the Joker once kidnapped him for his talents) and champion polo player, but the fellow he was named after and a detective at that? One mention - that's all he gets.
Xeen Arrow My knowledge of this character comes from a collection of Jack Kirby Green Arrow tales published about ten years back. My knowledge of Green Arrow for the most part, also comes from the same collection so Xeen Arrow may have reappeared, but I can't find any info online.
Plunger Man I'm almost certain that he's never appeared within the comics themselves, but this humblest of all heroes did make one appearance on The Tick TV series.

I didn't want to scan the whole page. Golden Age Kirby did a lot of experimental stuff with panel design and shape - but he stopped by the '50s. (I don't know why! I really like the crazy, wavy panels!) However, later in the same story there is definitely someone hanging.  |

One of my all time favorite single Issues. Too bad there was never a follow-up.  |
