    Default 3X2(9YZ)4A! Golden Age Johnny Quick (Johnathan Chambers) Appreciation Thread



    Johnny Quick's debut was in More Fun Comics #71 (September 1941), which also at that time co-featured Doctor Fate, The Spectre, and others.



    As for how he got his super-speed, it all had to do with reciting that simple formula:

    I like Johnny from Waid's run on The Flash. He made a great team with Jay and Max, all of them were a different kind of speedster. It was sad when he died during Savitar's story, I like him more than Jesse.

    Two issues after Johnny stared his More Fun run, Aquaman and Green Arrow would also join the book as co-features. Johnny even got a couple (three, to be exact) cover appearances during that time.







    Starting with More Fun Comics #101, Superboy would also be featured, but after issue #107 (cover-dated January-February 1946), Johnny Quick, Aquaman, Green Arrow, and Superboy moved to Adventure Comics (starting with issue #103, cover-dated April 1946).

    Johnny's last regular appearance in Adventure was issue #207 (December 1954).
    After that, he made occasional reprint appearances . . . until 1978.

    One of the many interesting things to me about Johnny was that he survived into the 50s as a published character -- that's impressive.
