The Adventures of Dick Cole was a 1940s comic book series, created by Bob Davis.

The character was introduced in the "Origin of Dick Cole," in the first issue of Novelty Press' Blue Bolt Comics (cover-dated June 1940).

(Many of the stories published in the Star issues were reprints from Blue Bolt and another Novelty Press title, Target Comics.)

Dick was an orphan left at the Farr Military Academy, and taken in by Professor Blair, who wants to bring him up to be a physical marvel.

When Cole wasn't winning football games, he tracked evildoers with an assist from his Academy pals Simba and Ted.
