'Mazing Man is the title character of a comic book series created by Bob Rozakis and Stephen DeStefano and published by DC Comics. [1] The series ran for twelve issues in 1986, with additional special issues in 1987, 1988, and 1990. Additionally, a 'Mazing Man origin story was featured in Secret Origins #16, and an original one-page story that appeared as an ad in Comics Buyer's Guide . [2]
'Mazing Man depicts the misadventures of Sigfried Horatio Hunch III, a civilian from Queens who dresses in a homemade costume and performs local good deeds. Viewed as a harmless kook by his neighbors, he saves a child from being hit by a truck in the first issue, earning him some respect and attention. Hunch also happens to be a millionaire after winning a magazine subscription company's sweepstakes, but does not flaunt his wealth or live an opulent lifestyle.
The series also has a backup feature, "Zoot Sputnik", drawn by Fred Hembeck, that serves as a parody of Golden Age comics.[ citation needed ]
In Ambush Bug: Year None , 'Mazing Man is revealed to be on death row.[ citation needed ]
The original series was acclaimed, but short-lived. Comics artist Frank Miller contributed a cover with the lead characters of The Dark Knight Returns , which created enough interest for three subsequent one-shot issues.[ citation needed ]
'Mazing Man appears in the Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode "Four Star Spectacular!", voiced by Tom Kenny. [3] This version idolizes Batman and derives his costume from his.
