Publication History
Because of publication differences between Batman and the Outsiders, The Outsiders vol. 1, and Adventures of the Outsiders, the Bad Samaritan's first published appearance was not his first in appearance in DC Comics' shared fictional universe. His first chronological appearance was in The Outsiders #3 (January 1986), but according to The Outsiders #4 where he refers to events that occurred in Adventures of the Outsiders #34 (June 1986), which was the first time he ever met Geo-Force. His first actual in universe appearance occurred in Batman and the Outsiders #32, (April 1986).

Famous quotes containing the words publication and/or history:
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“... in a history of spiritual rupture, a social compact built on fantasy and collective secrets, poetry becomes more necessary than ever: it keeps the underground aquifers flowing; it is the liquid voice that can wear through stone.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
