Simon B. Thunder

A genuine artifact of DC's Golden Age, Simon B. Thunder made his debut in the landmark Flash Comics #1 in 1940 — one of the most celebrated first issues in comics history, a collector's holy grail that also introduced some of the era's most iconic figures. Created by John B. Wentworth and Stan Asch, Simon keeps rarefied company in those pages, sharing adventures with the likes of Johnny Thunder, The Flash, and The Thunderbolt. With appearances stretching across an remarkable 47-year span into 1987 and a nod in Secret Origins, this rare Golden Age presence is a fascinating piece of DC's foundational mythology — the kind of deep-cut discovery that reminds you just how rich those early comics truly were.
