Moon Man (character)

[1] Davis, who after his time as a pulp writer had a long career as a mystery novelist, generally wrote under various pen names.

Though the Moon Man robbed mainly villains, he was viewed by the police as a criminal and was wanted for numerous burglaries, two kidnappings and a murder.

His main opponent was (Plain Clothes) Detective Lieutenant, Gil McEwen, who worked to capture the Moon Man and send him to the Electric Chair.

Steve Thatcher killed off the Moon Man at the end of the Silver Death story but he was forced to bring him back to battle The Red Ring, a group of blackmailers who used tetanus as a weapon of death, over the next three issues because they knew his secret identity and forced him and Sue to do their criminal bidding.

Longer works include The Hounds of Hell, published by Airship 27, which pitted the Moon Man against pulp villain Doctor Satan.

Moon Man Volume Two, with stories by Gene Moyers, Greg Hatcher, Terry Alexander and Tim Holter Bruckner was published by Airship 27 in 2018.
