 Dr. Occult



Mystery Blogger D’s 2013 theme: “Super heroes!”
D is for Doctor Occult.
Richard Occult (aka The Ghost Detective) was a supernatural detective created by the same team who created Superman….Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. He debuted in New Fun Comics #6, back in 1935 under the name Dr. Mystic where he travels to a mystic realm, flies, and wears a cape….thus becoming the very first caped hero in comics (Superman didn’t appear until 1938).  
I’d never heard of Dr. Occult before the A to Z 2013! 
Who is it? Hint: This blogger says, “I’m a late bloomer.”

  4. Greetings human, Lee,

    Please note that I backtracked to this pawsting. High paws to this wonderful DAWG.

    ""I'm a late bloomer." Obviously a plant that blogs about blooming at a later time in the year. This was easy. A ghost detective? I could see right through that one…

    Penny, the pawsitive host of the Alphabark Challenge, 2014!

  6. I am hovering on the edge of sleep over here… but then I thought "Maybe the labels give a clue!" I am curious about Dr. Occult just because it combines several different funny bone tickles in me. (Did I mention sleepy and giggly sometimes show up a the same time?")

    Here is my attempt at a fact that I am completely making up and who knows if it is remotely true: Women are actually more attracted to superheroes and villains who are smart and strategic than all muscle bound and buff. (or maybe it would be more accurate to say THIS woman.) Anyway – Happy D and on to E!

  10. For sure, I don't know who it is. I'd go with Stephen's response. The late-bloomer tag made me think of her, but then I don't know if she did the challenge in 2013.

  16. I seem to recall superhero posts on Michael Offut's blog (or is it Stephen Offut? The one who writes SF.) I have the worst memory, but when I DO remember things, I can be counted on to remember the most eclectic (read: useless) information. 😉

  17. Heh, I guess it's unfair for me to guess, but there's always tomorrow 🙂

    Thanks a bunch, Lee, I appreciate the shoutout and glad you enjoyed my theme from last year.

    Thanks to the rest of you for all your kind words, as well 🙂

    (oh and, yes, I was a late bloomer!)

  18. I had no clue, but looking at the probably correct answers above, I happily admit to "discovering" him the other day and following him immediately.

  19. I'm completely clueless. Have I mentioned how awful I am with names? For whatever reason, they just don't stick in my brain. Faces, facts, interactions, memories, yes. Names? *sigh*

  20. Here for the A to Z Challenge. Hope you're enjoying it as much as we are! Good luck on your new book!

  23. Hi, Lee…

    Ooo… grim and surly looking… Almost a bit to cranky looking to be a super hero… lol.

    Yes, it has to be Mark Means…I remember his A-Z from last year!

  25. Hi Lee – well I'm glad others are much more aware than I am – I know Mark really quite well .. but not enough obviously to recognise him .. I guess I should have put Comics and Mark together ..

    I will definitely enjoy coming back to take these in .. and then refer to the blogger too .. cheers Hilary
