Dan Garrett was inspired to become a policeman after his father was killed by gangsters, but he found
that everyday police work 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.
THE BLUE BEETLE has been retold and rebooted many times over the last 75 years. This is the original
BLUE BEETLE, the Golden Age classic hero. He appeared in many comics, including a 60-issue series of
his own title, and 31 issues of MYSTERY MEN. This book collects all his stories from MYSTERY MEN #1-
31, Big-3 Comics, All-Top Comics, PHANTOM LADY, TEGRA, and ZAGO – with more to come!
