Get old? I been old, man. 😏 Have you circled round to the other side?  Life's a big isosceles triangle. The climb up is long and languorous, but I'm hurtling down the other side at light speed. |

Bless you. I hope that means you got to see wrestling on the DuMont Network. If so, please share some anecdotes in the wrestling thread. Although wrestling on the DuMont Network might be before anyone’s time here… I was but a little more than two when Dumont went belly-up. And we didn't have a TV for quite a few years then anyway.  However, I certainly did watch wrestling for many of my formative years: Chief Jay Strongbow; Haystacks Calhoun; Gorilla Monsoon; Ernie (The Big Cat) Ladd; Bruno Sammartino, et al. Also Roller Derby, harness racing from Roosevelt Raceway and the occasional boxing match on Fight of the Week. All of these were the descendants of DuMont programming. As was, of course, the Honeymooners episodes that ran and re-ran on local TV for decades. So, Dumont continued... in spirit anyway.
You mean you're not old enough to remember the really good ol' days?

According to Wikipedia, Heck's Marvel nicknames were "Dashing" Don Heck and "Dazzling" Don Heck, and Dan Adkins, Danny Fingeroth and Denny O'Neil were Dandy. I could have sworn Adkins was Dapper Dan.

One of the interesting things about Don Heck is that even though I think you can see in his 1950s work, e.g. those Danger covers, that his style was better suited to non-costumed-hero adventure comics, he adapted pretty well to the new, or rather renewed, superhero genre in the 1960s - something an accomplished newspaper adventure strip artist like Frank Robbins was unable to do.
