My favorite Hawkman villain! The cool thing about this character is that his look really hasn't changed since his debut almost 80 years ago!

My first Gentleman Ghost story was in BATMAN #310.

Always loved my first introduction to him in JLU: "Mind the Ion-Drive, that's delicate equipment!"

There is a company called FanSets, that puts out metallic pins. I have a set of characters that were used on The Super Friends.

One of their recent releases is a Ghost of Gentleman Jim pin.

Great villain. Definitely needs to get developed more in relation to the Hawk’s gallery of adversaries.
