Granny Gumshoe was a quality character who fits best on Earth 12. She was a kind of wacky elderly crime solver. Quality had a few of these, Bill the Magnificent who I chose not to read, and Big Brother come foremost to my mind. Though Plastic Man, Bob and Swab and Rusty Ryan were either in this category or more serious depending the writer. Any way Granny Gumshoe's villains were almost always interesting. Cupid II (National Comics Vol 1 #67 August 1947) Mr Worm (National Comics Vol 1 #60 June 1947) Splinter (National Comics Vol 1 #57 December 1946)

I think I might incorporate Granny Gumshoe into the Freedom Force, Earth-12/55's "Golden Age" set of parody superheroes. I read about her and Splinter in the Quirk Books volume League of Regrettable Supervillains, in which the wooden one in question puts in an appearance.

The Golden Age Atom had his last solo adventure in the February 1949 issue of Sensation Comics Vol 1 #86. The first Atom started in All-American Comics, then only appear with the JSA for most on 1946 and a quarter o 1947 until reappearing in Flash Comics with a last solo appearance in Sensation Comics Vol 1 #86 February 1949. The Atom was super strong from the beginning as he was seen breaking a wooden table with his fist, bending steel rods, and even completely ripping the door of a safe off. By the end of his run he could Lift a train and separate large ocean going ships yet he mostly fought street thugs. He had a very rudimentary personality as he had a quick temper in his early days that lessoned with his increased power. Here are his albeit and appropriate short list of villain . Black Dragon Society (All-American Comics Vol 1 #41 August 1942) (see Black Condor I, JSA, Minute Man, Rusty Ryan, Sniper Smasher) James Small (All-American Comics Vol 1 #46 January 1943) The Tusk (All-American Comics Vol 1 #40 July 1942)

From memory, Al Pratt was a college student, in his late teens, and may have lacked impulse control and anger management problems as a consequence of his youth.

Al Pratt was not only a college student, but he endured constant taunting from other students because of his size. They are lucky he didn't work out his anger management issues on them!

March 1949 saw the last appearance of Sargon the Sorcerer. Sargon ran first in All-American Comics then In Sensation Comics Though between the summers of 1943 and 1944 he only appeared regularly in the Quarterly Comic Cavalcade. While Maximillian O'Leary is known to be his sidekick, his first assistant was Flora Styles. There never any mention of Flora having a husband, but she did have a son named Bobby. A very strange social situation to be in a comics book in the 1940's Here are his villains: Blue Lama (Sensation Comics Vol1 #88 August 1947) Lightning Bug (Sensation Comics Vol 1 #76 April 1948) Voltini (Sensation Comics Vol 1 #80 August 1948)
