Who is Larry Jordan?

District attorney Larry Jordan secretly became the costumed crime-fighter Air Wave, engineering a special helmet that let him intercept radio waves and travel along telephone and telegraph lines on electromagnetic-powered roller skates.

Born in the pages of Detective Comics #66 in 1942, Larry Jordan is a Golden Age DC original whose debut β€” crafted by the legendary Bill Finger and Bob Kane β€” carries genuine collector weight as a key issue. Over a remarkable span stretching across more than eight decades, this figure has surfaced in titles like All-Star Squadron and Young All-Stars, rubbing shoulders with some of DC's most iconic wartime heroes: Green Lantern, The Flash, Hawkman, Air Wave, and Robotman. With 25 catalog appearances and deep roots in the rich, patriotic tapestry of the Golden Age, Larry Jordan is exactly the kind of character that rewards the curious fan willing to dig into DC's storied history.
