As a total wild guess, I'm going to guess Ed Hamilton and Julius Schwartz

That's a great guess but unfortunately not the answer. It definitely feels like a Schwartz type feature, doesn't it?

Seeing as you said this was a Golden Age feature, I'll guess Siegel & Shuster.

Its not but I figured that would be the first guess.

As a hint because I haven't gotten too many guesses, its the Late Golden Age...

You got it! It was indeed a Simon & Kirby feature, one of many they created for DC. It was also one of the very last they did at DC before moving away from the Company for a decade, going on to Harvey and Prize comics.

You're up!

In the 50's, Madagascar was a very exotic place to comic book writers. DC had two protagonists of the decade visit there: Adam Strange and which one even earlier in the decade?

Well I've been to Madagascar but it was in the 2000s not the 1950s. So I'll say... the Sea Devils?

My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Did J'Onn exist in the early '50s?

Was it Batman?

Debuted in 1955, IIRC. That's just about enough wiggle room.

Nicely done Quis! It's indeed King Faraday from his very brief early 50's series Danger Trail.

Longtime Batman supporting character of the Golden Age, 1950's, and early silver age. Usually he would send Batman and Robin through time (Batman was a sci-fi book then).

He's shown up a handful of times since th mid-60's.
