Character(s): The Liberator
Publication: Exciting Comics No. 25
Publication Date: February 1942
Publisher: Better Publications, Inc.
Here is another great patriotic superhero
from Exciting Comics no. 25, the source of last month's American Eagle story.
The Liberator was in reality the mild-mannered
Prof. Nelson Drew. He transformed into the powerful Liberator with the aid of a substance referred to
as "Ancient Egyptian Lamesis." Whatever that was, it granted him incredible strength and speed, as
well as a neat costume.
The Liberator appeared in Exciting
Comics nos. 15-30 & 34-35 and America's Best Comics nos. 1, 3-5 & 8.
