Character History
The stories featured the adventurous sailor O'Casey and a pet monkey, Mr. Hogan. Later on, O'Casey left his monkey and started traveling with a new first-mate named Mike Bellew. O'Casey and Bellew were down on their luck adventurers looking to transport cargo, search for the odd bit of treasure or help damsels in distress.
So far O'Casey has made only one appearance in DC Comics, in the 1998 Captain Marvel comic book, The Power of Shazam!, portraying an aged, yet feisty, sailor in issue #34.

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or history:
“But the mark of American merit in painting, in sculpture, in poetry, in fiction, in eloquence, seems to be a certain grace without grandeur, and itself not new but derivative; a vase of fair outline, but empty,—which whoso sees, may fill with what wit and character is in him, but which does not, like the charged cloud, overflow with terrible beauty, and emit lightnings on all beholders.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“There is a history in all men’s lives,
Figuring the natures of the times deceased,
The which observed, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
