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 ÒVitamin 2XÓ Ð and used it to save Garrett's life, at the same

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. In June of 1942, Blue Beetle moved
from Fox to Holyoke Publishing with issues #12. Holyoke would continue to publish Blue Beetle
until issue #31 when the title returned to Fox Publishing.
This book was compiled with the best images currently available. That stated, these comics are
seventy years old. The best efforts have been made to make the pages as enjoyable as possible but
not every panel is perfect and some allowances for the age of the books need to be considered
when judging the overall contents.
THE PUBLICATION OF THIS BOOK (AND MANY OTHERS) IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THE SUPPORT
AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF MARK LECHAK
