Artist Warren King and writer Joe Blair loaned their talents to many of the Firefly's installments.

The Firefly was the fourth superhero launched by MLJ in the eighth issue of their title Top-Notch Comics.

The Firefly has had very few appearances since, although when he did briefly reappear during the sixties in The Mighty Crusaders #4 he had gained the ability to glow brightly like his namesake.

As part of the team the character reappeared in the 2000s Archie's Weird Mysteries #3 and 14 and Tales From Riverdale Digest #27.

He discovers that insects can lift masses greater than their own weight not because of the square–cube law but because of their ability to coordinate their muscles.
