Wham Comics #2
In "How the Buzzard Came to Be!", a mysterious device transforms an ordinary man into a flamboyant vigilante known only as the Buzzard—complete with a beak-like nose, tails, and a receding hairline—after the Mayor arms him with a gas that makes everyone see him as the underworld's nemesis. When the Chief of Police arrives at a standoff, he's baffled to find the Buzzard already has the criminals cornered, unaware that his own son Flash is behind the disguise. Written, drawn, and inked by Martin Filchock, this 1940 tale blends comedic tension with a clever secret identity twist, all vividly brought to life on a cover by Lew Glanzman.
