Dr. Filpots

A Golden Age curiosity with genuine pedigree, Dr. Filpots made his debut in 1943's Captain Marvel Adventures #22, brought to life by the legendary Otto Binder and C. C. Beck at Fawcett Comics. With only a handful of catalog appearances, he's a rare figure — the kind of deep-cut character who surfaces in the company of memorable Golden Age heavyweights like Mr. Mind and Captain Nazi, which tells you something about the colorful, high-stakes world he inhabits. The fact that his footprint stretches across reprints and collections all the way to 2018 means curious collectors still have ways to track him down — a small but enduring piece of Fawcett history worth a second look.
