Yes, it's another of those superheroes from the so-called "Golden Age" of comics coming to the rescue - not of a damsel in distress but of a mature man in bondage. This time, it's Starman, who's just escaped from a bo-o-ring dinner date with perk brunette "miss Lee" in "the fashionable and exclusive Flamingo Club". It's so much more fun to go out and fight crooks with your "gravity rod", especially when you can score with cute elderly scientists abducted by dorks with names like "Dr. Doog" who are only interested in their ultra-dynamos. I mean come on, Doog, get a life! Or at least a fashion sense!(These panels are from the debut story of Starman in Adventure Comics 61, from April 1941. They are drawn by Jack Burnley.)
