Happy Halloween, Dr. Thirteen!

Cover jam by Leonard Starr & Jim Aparo
Happy Halloween!  To celebrate, this episode of I'm the Gun takes a look at DC's Doctor of Debunk, the Physician of Phenomenology,  Dr. Thirteen!

We'll start with a brief (very brief) publishing history, followed by a look at the good Doctor's very 1st appearance in Star Spangled Comics #122, from November 1951.  Next up is a recap of a 3-part story from Ghosts #s 97-99 (Feb.-Apr. 1981 ) featuring Dr. 13 in confrontation with DC's foremost spirit avenger, The Spectre!

Get your pumpkin buckets ready and download this episode HERE.  Check out previous episodes of I'm the Gun on iTunes, and scroll down for some eerie images from these issues below!

Theme created using a sample of 'Shotgun' by Duran Duran.





Like a skeptical Bruce Wayne, Dr. Thirteen sets up shop.

Dr. Thirteen, feet firmly planted on the ground, watches The Spectre execute terrorists

Another execution - The Spectre debunks the Curse of the 13

Thousands of dead in a queue fail to convince Dr. Thirteen

Bonus! Who's Dr. Thirteen?
