The month of June is dedicated to the Blue Beetle. The Blue Beetle is one of comics most enduring heroes, having been published by a lot of brands and successfully finding a place to exist in most eras of comics. The Beetle began in the Golden Age, found reasonable success in comics and even on radio for a short time and a two-fisted crimefighter named Dan Garrett. Later a different Dan Garrett was revived and revised by Charlton Comics as a mystical superhero with vast powers.
Later at Charlton Steve Ditko took the character and gave him a technological touch under the name Ted Kord. This version hung on at Charlton and later at DC for quite some time, before yet another Blue Beetle in the form of Jaime Reyes took on the role. The focus this month will be on Charlton's versions of the hero. So, grab your hats, it's going to be a zany ride.
Rip Off
