Silver Streak is a fictional superhero character created by Joe Simon that first appeared in ''Silver Streak Comics'' #3 (March, 1940), from Lev Gleason Publications.〔(The Silver Streak ) at Don Markstein's Toonopedia〕 He is believed to be the second-ever comic book superhero whose primary power is speed;〔 All-American Publications' The Flash preceded him by two months.〔''Flash Comics'' #1 (All-American Publications, Jan. 1940).〕 However, Silver Streak beat out National Allied Publications' Johnny Quick (who debuted in 1941)〔''More Fun Comics'' # 71 (National Allied Publications, Sept. 1941).〕 as the first superhero whose two powers were speed and flight. Silver Streak has a kid sidekick called "Mercury" (soon changed to "Meteor"); he is also assisted by a hawk named "Whiz". ==Publication history== ''Silver Streak Comics'' was originally published by Arthur Bernhardt’s Rhoda Publications, and the title was inspired by Bernhardt's car, a Pontiac Silver Streak. With issue #3, the title was taken over by Lev Gleason Publications and Silver Streak himself first appeared. Silver Streak appeared in ''Silver Streak Comics'' until issue #19 (March, 1942); the title itself ended with #22, and was renamed ''Crime Does Not Pay''.〔 Also during this run, Silver Streak appeared in Lev Gleason's ''Daredevil'' #1.〔 In 1945, Silver Streak appeared in the one and only issue of ''Dime Comics'', and then in the 23rd and final issue of the briefly revived ''Silver Streak Comics''.〔 Since then, this character has fallen into the public domain.〔 In 2008, he appeared in issue #141 of ''The Savage Dragon'', along with a score of other Golden Age heroes. In 2008, Silver Streak appeared in flashbacks in issue #0 of Dynamite Entertainment’s ''Project Superpowers'', a title that uses mostly public domain Golden Age characters. In the one-shot ''Project Superpowers: Chapter Two Prelude'', it was stated that Silver Streak will appear in future stories in this line; indeed, he appeared in the related Dynamite miniseries ''The Death-Defying ’Devil''. Editor Erik Larsen's "Next Issue Project" (Image Comics) published ''Silver Streak Comics'' "#24" in December 2009. Silver Streak himself appeared in one of the stories, written and illustrated by Paul Grist. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Silver Streak (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
