The Clock is considered to be the first masked comic hero to appear in American comics in the Golden Age. He was created by George Brenner.
Wearing a sort of black hanky over his face, the Clock was a hypnotist crime fighter with a cane. He fought his bad guys in Chicago.
He debuted in November 1936 and his alter ego was the catchy-named Brian O' Brian.
DC eventually acquired the Clock but let him slip silently into the public domain in the 1950's.
His calling card read The Clock Has Struck!
I couldn't find any Clock merchandise but I imagine there's still time.
Have you any Clock stuff?
Sounds like a wind-up!
