Description This is my custom Mego style action figure of Golden Age Comic great, The Owl! This is the second figure in My World's Greatest Golden Age Heroes line. Look for new additions to the line very soon, along with custom backer cards. Hope you like Him!

Here is a little background on The Owl I pulled up on Wikipedia for those of you unfamiliar with the character..

One of the few original characters to be published by Dell, The Owl first appeared in Crackajack Funnies #25 (July, 1940); Owl Girl debuted in issue #32 (February, 1941). After Crackajack ended, the duo appeared in Dell’s Popular Comics, from issue #72 (February, 1942) to #85 (March, 1943).

In the 1960s, Gold Key Comics revived The Owl and Owl Girl, inspired by the success of the Batman TV series. The two issues of Gold Key’s The Owl — in which the duo was shown in campy, self-parodying stories — came out in April, 1967, and April, 1968. In the 1970s, The Owl appeared in issue #22 of Gold Key’s The Occult Files of Doctor Spektor.

In 1999, The Owl appeared in issue #17 of the AC Comics title Men of Mystery Comics. Most recently, The Owl is one of many public domain characters to appear in Dynamite Entertainment’s 2008 miniseries Project Superpowers.

Pretty cool! I enjoyed the informative description, too. I did not know that the Golden Age Owl was the same guy as the Gold Key character.
