Born on this day in 1913: Golden Age comic book writer and artist
Fred Guardineer! He wrote and drew stories for Action Comics, National Comics, Detective Comics, Military Comics, Police Comics, Crack Comics, Adventure Comics, Big Shot Comics...whew, the guy practically created books with the word "Comics" in the title! Not to mention artwork on The Spirit, The Durango Kid, Speed Saunders, Blue Tracer, for Black Diamond Western, Crime Does Not Pay and others. He's also the creator of Zatanna's daddy, the magician/hero
Zatara in a little book you may have heard of
Action Comics #1! Boy, I bet it's hard to beat Zatara for the debut of a fantastic character within that issue.
