Dr. Jonathan Weir

Born in the pages of The Purple Claw #1 back in 1953, Dr. Jonathan Weir is a genuine Golden Age survivor — a character whose debut year alone makes him a piece of living comics history. Created by Ben Brown for AC Comics, Weir has proven remarkably durable, turning up across more than seven decades of publication in titles like FemForce, AC Annual, and Crypt of Horror, which speaks to AC's deep affection for preserving and celebrating its vintage catalog. He shares the page with a colorful roster of AC stalwarts — The Purple Claw, Ms. Victory, She-Cat, Nightveil, and Laura Wright among them — placing him squarely in that distinctive corner of the comics universe where Golden Age atmosphere meets the superhero ensemble spirit AC made its own. With 57 catalog appearances and at least one key-issue credit to his name, Dr. Jonathan Weir is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that rewards the curious collector willing to dig past the mainstream.
