Mortimer Moore

A Silver Age curiosity with genuine charm, Mortimer Moore made his comics debut in 1967's The Mighty Heroes #1, stepping into Marvel's wonderfully offbeat corner of the universe alongside such memorably named company as Tornadoman, Diaperman, Cuckooman, and Ropeman. His appearances stretch across an impressive 31 years — from 1967 all the way to 1998 — turning up in the Mighty Heroes and Mighty Mouse titles and proving that even a character with a modest catalog footprint can have surprising staying power. For collectors with a taste for the quirky, underexplored side of the Silver Age, Mortimer Moore is exactly the kind of find that makes digging through back-issue bins so rewarding.
