An interesting combination of elements from pulp characters: wealthy globe-trotting adventurer with team of aides (Doc Savage or Avenger), training in parapsychic abilities (Green Lama or Shadow) and tendency to kill opponents (Shadow or Spider), Hazzard (he doesn't have a first name as far as I can tell) can also communicate telepathically with his men and senses danger with a forerunner of Spider-Sense!
He faced the Python Men in the Lost City, and...well, that's it!
He only made one appearance!
There was no second issue!
Pity, since he had a lot of potential.
At least he left behind a cool cover, which we've digitally-restored and remastered onto a plethora of products including shirts, mugs, etc. at Capt Hazzard: Adventurer for those with an Indiana Jones/high adventure leaning!
(Actually, much like Alex Ross has done with old comics characters in Project SuperPowers, noted writer Ron Fortier is reviving the Capt Hazzard pulp series, both with a rewritten version of the original novel "Python Men of the Lost City" and a series of new novels.)
Google for the books, and visit Ron's Capt Hazzard product site at Team Hazzard.

LOST Mystery Tales #40: He's on an AIRPLANE!
From the cover of the Mystery Tales #40 comic book John Locke didn't choose: a close-up of the item in a fabric pocket on the wall just below the window between his fingers and the round green caption!
Even though the coloring makes it look like a label, it's actually a booklet or brochure with **** Airlines written on it!

LOST Mystery Tales comic now on USB flash drives!
In a flashback on the LOST tv series ep "Cabin Fever", young John Locke had to choose items that "already belonged to him".
One of the items he didn't select was the comic book Mystery Tales.
But, what if the comic cover was available on something a little more practical...like a USB flash drive? Would he have chosen it then? Would you? ;-)
Choose from 1GB, 2GB, or 4GB
Or, how about a money/cigarette case, a business card case, or flip-top zippo-style lighter? (Talk about practical, and stylish, too!)
