Commander Ray Crosby

A product of comics' earliest heroic age, Commander Ray Crosby made his debut in the pages of Crack Comics #12 in 1941, brought to life by artist Henry Kiefer for the storied Quality Comics line. Crack Comics was one of Golden Age publishing's genuine anthologies of adventure, and Crosby found himself in remarkable company — sharing those wartime pages with the likes of The Black Condor, The Red Torpedo, and Captain Rock Braddon. With only a handful of catalog appearances, he's a rare and tantalizing figure for Golden Age devotees, the kind of discovery that makes digging through Quality's rich back catalogue so rewarding.
