The Moth & Lynx: Gwandanaland Comics #38/1283 --- The Complete Stories of Two Exciting and Important Characters in Golden Age Comics History
We didn't learn much about THE MOTH in the few stories we were privileged to read – he could fly, though we're not sure why; he was strong, but we weren't told how strong, or why; he was just a great guy in a moth suit who fought crime --- but his stories were original and very colorful. We have gathered all his stories together, so you can hold in your hands the world's first and only complete collection of THE MOTH in print!
He wealthy, he has a young ward, and he fights crime....that's right, he's Batma----- I mean THE LYNX! Strong and agile, THE LYNX fights against racketeers and other criminals with the aid of his sidekick Blackie through 19 issues of Mystery men Comics. His was one of the first comics to use the “elaborate death trap” which became so common for other crimefighters, including Batma----- I mean, other crimefighters. Comic readers are sure to enjoy this exciting and colorful reprint from Gwandanaland Comics!
The hinted-at relationship between THE LYNX and Batma--- that other crimefighter, is not merely coincidence. The story is that after Fox Feature was sued by DC because they claimed that THE MOTH was a rip-off of Batman, Fox simply told illustrator Jim Mooney to go ahead and make a Batman clone. They were sued again, and this time DC won a $2,000 judgment (per Brian Cronin, CBR.com). So any relationship between the two characters is, apparently, completely intended.
