Dr. Floogle

A quirky piece of Silver Age DC curiosity, Dr. Floogle made their debut in the pages of House of Mystery in 1959, brought to life by artist Bill Ely during that wonderfully imaginative era when DC's anthology titles were brimming with oddball scientists, strange visitors, and tales you couldn't quite predict. Popping up across House of Mystery, Tales of the Unexpected, and House of Secrets — the holy trinity of DC's Silver Age anthology weirdness — Dr. Floogle kept some genuinely stellar company, sharing pages with the likes of Space Ranger, Superman, and Rick Starr. With 15 catalogued appearances and at least one collector-recognized key issue to their name, this is exactly the kind of delightful deep-cut that rewards the devoted reader willing to dig into the rich, strange corners of DC's Silver Age.
