440 – The Blue Beetle Returns

A panel from Blue Beetle #58, February 1950

Despite the clear indication that the comic book industry has moved on to western, horror, and romance books, Fox tries to resurrect the Blue Beetle in Blue Beetle #58 (February 1950). The book picks up where the original left off two years back in 1948, with Dan Garrett returning to the police force and to a life of crime-fighting adventure as the azure-clad superhero. The resurgence of the Blue Beetle only lasted for three issues. The character was later acquired by Charlton Comics in the 1960s.
