Rutland Halloween Parade
The Rutland Halloween Parade is an annual event held on (or around) Halloween in the city of Rutland, Vermont, since 1960. The parade has a strong superhero theme and has been the setting for a number of comic book adventures. Local officials maintain that it is one of the largest and longest running Halloween parade in the United States.
== History ==
Tom Fagan, a local writer and comic book fan, is credited with having a hand in the parade's early development and superhero theme. He had letters and text pieces promoting the parade published in a number of DC and Marvel titles, including DC's ''Detective Comics'' #327 (May 1964) and Marvel's ''Avengers'' #88 (May 1971).〔Shutt, Craig. ("Ask Mr. Silver Age: Tom Fagan," ) ''Comics Buyer's Guide'' (Nov. 5, 2008). The storyline of issue 237 of ''Batman Comics'' (December 1971) even referenced the event.〕 According to a 2006 ''Boston Globe'' article, "in 1965 ... the Joker, Plastic Man, and Dr. Strange were roaming the streets of Rutland, along with Batman (presumably Fagan, but like Bruce Wayne, the Caped Crusader wouldn't divulge his identity). More comic book heroes appeared every year...."〔 According to a 2008 ''Comics Buyer's Guide'' obituary of Fagan...
The 2006 ''Boston Globe'' story explains that "... Fagan was friends with many comic book authors and artists, most of whom hailed from New York. Fagan persuaded some of them to take part in the Rutland Halloween Parade in comic book character costumes.〔〔 Many creators stayed as guests at Fagan's 24-room mansion outside of Rutland, which has since become the Antique Mansion Bed & Breakfast. Comic book creators known to have attended the parade over the years include Steve Englehart, Gerry Conway, Marv Wolfman, Bernie Wrightson, Dennis O'Neil, Roy Thomas, Alan Weiss, Wendy and Richard Pini, Dave Cockrum, and Len Wein.〔Thomas, Roy (ed.)
