Dan Garret was inspired to become a policeman after his father was killed by gangsters, but he found that everyday policework was not enough. He became THE BLUE BEETLE! At first he fought crime in a blue suit and mask, using only his human strength and wits, but early in his career was almost killed....and Dr Franz created “Vitamin 2X” – and used it to save Garrett's life, at the same time giving him super-strength, super speed, even super intelligence. Now, donned in his armored costume, BLUE BEETLE had become a bona fide superhero. This volume contains the first comics after Charlton Comics took over the Blue Beetle character – four complete issues plus stories from Space Adventures #13 & 14 and Nature Boy #3. After these stories Blue Beetle would lie dormant for almost a decade before being being revived – rebooted, in today's lingo – with a new origin and new characters. This is the final BLUE BEETLE Volume --- the most complete Blue Beetle collection in print, and only from Gwandanaland Comics!
