nyet. this character had no cross-marketing with merchandise or other media, and aside from the 80s mini only appeared again in a later anthology title.
The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

I admit I've been thinking about this for kind of awhile. I'm pretty stumped and have just about one last guess.
The Aerialist? Matt Wagner / Dark Horse character that eventually appeared in Dark Horse Presents. I'm unsure if he was 80's or early 90's and if he had his own mini first.

nope, not the Aerialist. but DHP was the anthology sequel I referred to.
The original mini was not Dark Horse, tho.

Well, I had to get it sooner or later  An easier one b/c I'm in a rush: "One of the reasons Lev Gleason Publications is most famous for its Golden Age comic books is because it's main star was Daredevil, the Golden Age superhero who preceeded Marvel's Silver Age star. What other Lev Gleason Golden Age superhero had a moniker that would be co-opted by a Marvel Silver Age star?"

I almost went with Silver Streak before remembering that she isn't really Silver Age.
Back in a bit with a question.

OK, this should be another quick one.
Who was Starman II?

in terms of publication, Batman was, in Detective #247 (1957)
The Bat-Starman of that issue was apparently the inspiration for Robinson's Starman II of 1951 (David Knight).

^Nailed it. Can't add anything. Oh, other than this random tidbit: if we're counting recent Jonah Hex continuity, the 2nd character to call himself Starman in the DCU might actually be Ted Knight. (But I suspect Kent's answer is right, and agree with it).

I would only add that Charles McNider was Starman II in Robinson's book before David Knight took over. Either he or Bats would have worked for me.
Nice job, Kent. You're up.

continuing my theme of aviators...
what DC hero had a skilled bush pilot for a girlfriend/assistant, and her last name was Valliere?

no, no, no and no.
Miner is on the right track with an alliterative name, and not someone with a codename.
