Publication History
Silver Streak Comics was originally published by Arthur Bernhardt’s Rhoda Publications, and the title was inspired by Bernhardt's car, a Pontiac Silver Streak. With issue #3, the title was taken over by Lev Gleason Publications and Silver Streak himself first appeared.
Silver Streak appeared in Silver Streak Comics until issue #19 (March, 1942); the title itself ended with #22, and was renamed Crime Does Not Pay. Also during this run, Silver Streak appeared in Lev Gleason's Daredevil #1.
In 1945, Silver Streak appeared in the one and only issue of Dime Comics, and then in the 23rd and final issue of the briefly revived Silver Streak Comics. Since then, this character has fallen into the public domain. In 2008, he appeared in issue #141 of The Savage Dragon, along with a score of other Golden Age heroes.
In 2008, Silver Streak appeared in flashbacks in issue #0 of Dynamite Entertainment’s Project Superpowers, a title that uses mostly public domain Golden Age characters. In the one-shot Project Superpowers: Chapter Two Prelude, it was stated that Silver Streak will appear in future stories in this line; indeed, he appeared in the related Dynamite miniseries The Death-Defying ’Devil.
Editor Erik Larsen's "Next Issue Project" (Image Comics) published Silver Streak Comics "#24" in December 2009. Silver Streak himself appeared in one of the stories, written and illustrated by Paul Grist.
