Skyman

Skyman is a Golden Age superhero created by Paul Dean and Ogden Whitney, debuting in Big Shot Comics #4 (1940) for Columbia Comics. A high-flying adventurer, he was one of the earliest costumed heroes of the superhero era.

Born in the pages of Big Shot Comics #4 in 1940, Skyman is a genuine Golden Age original, conjured by the creative team of Paul Dean and Ogden Whitney at the very dawn of the superhero era. Over a publishing history that stretches an remarkable 84 years, this high-flying figure has shared adventures with a distinguished roster of classic and revival characters — Allan Turner, The Sword, Green Lama, Jethro Dumont, and The Fighting Yank among them — placing him squarely in the company of comics' most storied heroic tradition. His own dedicated Skyman series and appearances under the Dynamite Entertainment banner prove that Golden Age magic has real staying power. For collectors with a taste for the roots of the superhero genre, Skyman is a name worth tracking down.
