Bluecoat and Scout is a superhero comic book series popular in the United States. The series follows the adventures of its titular masked duo battling Japanese spies and other villains.
History[]
Bluecoat and Scout was released in or before 1946 and gained widespread popularity.
Nite Owl and Mothman had an issue with the series in their hideout.
In 1949, a Japanese ex-agent adopted the persona of Bluecoat, and his son Scout, to cooperate with the Minutemen.
Trivia[]
- Bluecoat and Scout are based on Batman and Robin respectively.
- In the Watchmen universe, superhero comic books disappeared around 1939 because real-life costumed crimefighters emerged during the same period. They were replaced by pirate comics. The popularity of Bluecoat and Scout nearly a decade later might have been fueled by a temporary nostalgic trend or by the prevailing anti-Japanese sentiment of the time.
