Who is Bulletman?

Jim Barr, a police ballistics expert frustrated by crime, developed a strength-enhancing serum and a gravity-defying Gravity Helmet that allows him to fly and deflect bullets, transforming him into the crime-fighting Bulletman.

Few characters capture the rocket-fueled optimism of comics' Golden Age quite like Bulletman, who blazed onto the page in Fawcett's Master Comics #7 back in 1940, brought to life by Ken Battefield. Sharing those early Fawcett adventures with luminaries like Captain Marvel, Spy Smasher, and Bulletgirl, he was woven into one of the most exciting publisher rosters of the era. With four key issues to his name and a catalog presence stretching an extraordinary 84 years from 1940 all the way to 2024, Bulletman has proven himself far more than a period curiosity β€” he's a genuine piece of comics history worth seeking out. Whether you're hunting through Master Comics, Men of Mystery, or the collector-friendly Gwandanaland reprints, discovering Bulletman means stepping into the very heart of what made the Golden Age soar.
