Notes

  • Yarko the Great, Master Magician was the creation of Will Eisner and was not absorbed into the greater DC stable of characters.

Trivia

  • The Blue Beetle's name and concept was largely inspired by the Green Hornet, a popular "Mystery Man" created by George W. Trendle in the 1930s.
  • In these early issues, Dan Garrett's name is spelled "Garret" while later issues add the second T. Daniel Garrett is also provided with a rebooted origin, changing him from being a rookie police officer to an archaeologist.
