Richard Grey, Jr. / Senator Thomas Wright

A rare artifact from the earliest days of American comics, Richard Grey, Jr. / Senator Thomas Wright made his debut in Quality Comics' Crack Comics #15 in 1941, stepping onto the Golden Age stage courtesy of creator George Brenner. With only a handful of catalogued appearances concentrated in Crack Comics, this character is a genuine curiosity from that brief, fertile window of 1941–42 when Quality was packing its pages with bold, inventive figures. Sharing those issues with the likes of The Black Condor, The Spider, and The Clock makes for extraordinarily distinguished company — a who's-who of Quality's Golden Age roster — and for collectors who love hunting the corners of that era, Richard Grey, Jr. / Senator Thomas Wright is exactly the kind of obscure gem that makes the hunt worthwhile.
