Character(s): Gooperman
Publication: Target Comics Vol. 4 No. 3
Publication Date: May 1943
Publisher: Novelty Press, Inc.
 Al T. Tude was a comical character published
in Target Comics. On at least two occasions he donned a costume, inspired by the superheroes
in comic books, and called himself Gooperman (which, I guess, was inspired by Superman). He did not
have any special powers, however, until a mad Nazi scientist named Sizan ("Nazis" spelled backwards...) came
onto the scene.
Al T. Tude appeared in Target Comics
Vol. 3 No. 3 to Vo. 4 No. 8, and Vol. 5 No. 6 & Vol. 6 No. 1. I am unsure of the exact issues in
which Al wore the Gooperman costume other than Vo. 4 No. 3.
