The Golden Age was such a vibrant time, with so many great, and not-so-great, characters lost in the shuffle of superhero overload. One such short-llived but super stylish mystery man sprung from the able hands of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, Paul Kirk enjoyed his brief-but-bright run as the crimebustin'.Manhunter for a total of 19 issues, before being literally squeezed out.
According to Wikipedia:
.
"Beginning with Adventure Comics #73, Joe Simon
and Jack Kirby established a new Manhunter.... Paul Kirk.
The Simon/Kirby team left the feature after #80, November 1944,
although Kirby wrote a few more scripts. The Paul Kirk Manhunter appeared
in Adventure Comics until #92 in 1944, when wartime paper shortages caused
DC to drop page counts and thus his strip. "
Manhunter

"Kirk decides to become a crimefighter when his friend, Empire City police inspector Donovan, was murdered by the supervillain known as the Buzzard. He wore a superhero-like red costume with a blue mask. While he had no superpowers, he was an above average athlete and possessed superior tracking skills."
