Charlie Chan (Dell)

Hawaiian sleuth Charlie Chan was created by novelist Earl Derr Biggers in 1925 and achieved fame in a series of films starring Warner Oland. Stereotypically Oriental, Chan, accompanied by his “number one son,” uses fortune-cookie wisdom and keen observation to solve crimes and foil the plans of master criminals.

Chan’s career in comics began in a newspaper strip in the early 1940s, and later in comic books through most of the 1940s and ’50s. In 1965, Dell began a new series featuring art by Frank Springer. It ran only two issues.
