I'll try... Chuck Dawson?

quote: Which DC comics character went about 70 years without a non-reprint appearance in a DC comic, although he did have original stories published by two other comic companies?
quote: The character I'm going for has a gap of either 71 or 68 years depending on whether a given story actually features him (I'm not entirely certain), that's why I'm going with the "about 70" verbiage.
As a hint, I will say that his first appearance has been reprinted in a couple of high-profile instances.
George Taylor had a gap of 37 years and, to the best of my knowledge, never appeared in another company's comics
Chuck Dawson, once he went away, never did come back... BUT... I will say that the reprint comics which later contained Chuck also contained the character in question.

Scoop Scanlon?

Scoop Scanlon ran in the first 13 issues of Action Comics up until summer of '39, not reappearing in DC outside of a reprint until last year in the first issue of DC Universe: Legacies (with the possible exception of a Batman story in Worlds Finest in 1942, though it's bit dubious as to whether that was the same guy).
Where he did appear, however, was in the pages of the comics of two other publishers (Et-Es-Go and Holyoke) in new stories by his creator Bill Ely. Apparently when Ely left DC he just "took" Scanlon with him. I would have thought that DC would have frowned on that, but maybe there was an agreement, or maybe it was just under their radar.
In any case, as of last year, he's back as a DC character. Maybe we'll see him again in another 70 years.
Next question to EDE.

Nope.
(Or at least I hope they didn't try the same plot. Anyway I'm looking for a single individual rather than a group.)

Nope.
Hint: This question was somewhat inspired by Ex's question, in that the character in question is notable for having re-appeared after a long absense, though not nearly as long as Scoop Scanlon!

Hint: This character was absent for roughly twenty-five years before making a re-appearance in the last few years!
