Golden Age Comics Trivia #4

[telerites]

The next quiz awaits you below. A reminder of the rules ...

Inspired by the Classics Comics Trivia Quiz (kudos to Lone Ranger and Cei-U!).

"Answer as many questions as you can - DO NOT look at other replies before posting your answers. Answer only once - do not edit your answers at a later time. DO NOT use the internet for help. That will suck all of the fun out of it, as these will be easy to answer."

Let's end it next Tuesday. I will tally the points. To make it easier on me - all questions are 100 points. Remember - THIS IS GOLDEN AGE TRIVIA so all character references are from the late 30s-mid 50s.

Enjoy and good luck...
