Dan Dunn
Dan Dunn was the first fictional character to make his debut in an American comic magazine, making him the forerunner of many comic book heroes. Created by Norman Marsh, he first appeared in ''Detective Dan, Secret Operative No. 48'', a 1933 single issue one-shot by Humor Publications magazine.
==Comic strip==
Later in 1933, Dan Dunn made his newspaper debut in the ''Dan Dunn'' comic strip for Publishers Syndicate. He eventually appeared in Big Little Books, which are probably the most readily available source of the character's adventures for modern readers. In 1936, Dan Dunn became the title character of a pulp magazine that lasted for two issues. As noted by comics historian Don Markstein, the square-jawed Detective Dunn was a knock-off of ''Dick Tracy'', blowing away evil criminals with the same no-nonsense resort to violence that fans liked seeing during an era of urban crime gangs. In newspapers, however, Dunn never approached Tracy's popularity.〔(Markstein, Don. Toonopedia: ''Dan Dunn''. )〕
Marsh both drew and wrote ''Dan Dunn'', and many consider its artwork to be its weaker side. Phelps goes so far as to describe it as "arid," "presented a chronic, wintry aspect," with "cavernous spaces" and "huddled, stiff-jointed postures." Others describe Dan as a stocky character with a balding head and reddish beard. He has a fiery personality that did not deal well with criminals, bullies, or confrontation. However, other early crime strips (including the initial ''Dick Tracy'', as Phelps concedes) also look primitive today compared to the photorealist standards of later adventure comics.〔Phelps, Donald. "Flat Foot Floogie". ''Nemo, the Classic Comics Library'', no. 17 (February 1986), p. 33-38.〕
