Moon Man (character)
The Moon Man is a fictional pulp magazine character who appeared in ''Ten Detective Aces'' magazine, published by A.A. Wyn's Ace Magazines. He was a pulp hero in the Robin Hood mold. Frederick C. Davis created the character and wrote all the original stories under his own name. (Davis, who after his time as pulp writer had a long career as a mystery novelist, generally wrote under various pen names.)
==Character==
The Moon Man was so named because he concealed his identity with a spherical helmet of Argus (one-way mirror) glass, which gave a mirrored appearance. The one of a kind helmet was hinged, allowing him to don it and had an inbuilt disperser so he did not fog up the inside of his helmet by his breathing. He also wore a black robe with black gloves. Though the Moon Man robbed mainly from villains, he was viewed by the police as a criminal and was wanted for very many burglaries, two kidnappings and a murder. All the loot he took was distributed secretly to the poor of Great City (it was in the midst of the Great Depression) by the Moon Man's ally, Ned "Angel" Dargan, an ex-boxer he had saved from starvation and sickness.
The Moon Man was really Detective-Sergeant Stephen Thatcher, son of Great City's Police Chief, Peter Thatcher. His main opponent was (Plain Clothes) Detective Lieutenant, Gil McEwen, who worked to capture the Moon Man and send him to the Electric Chair. Sue McEwen, Gil's daughter was engaged to Steve Thatcher and at first did not know his secret.
Steve Thatcher killed off the Moon Man at the end of the Silver Death story but he was forced to bring him back to battle The Red Ring, a group of blackmailers who used tetanus as a weapon of death, over the next three issues because they knew his secret identity and forced him and Sue to do their criminal bidding.
