Character(s): Nickie Norton, of the Secret Service
Publication: Thrilling Comics No. 10
Publication Date: November 1940
Publisher: Better Publications, Inc.
 Nickie Norton was a member of the
United States Secret Service who wasn't afraid to take on the real nasties in society.
I don't know what else I can say about the character -- except that it seems he is always
wearing a hat and smoking a pipe.
I hope you readers enjoy this
feature -- its very unlike what I usually feature on this site (like the last story was
any better...). I find the Nickie Norton character fascinating because the story is
written so over-the-top and heavy-handedly.
Nickie Norton, of the Secret Service,
appeared in Thrilling Comics 1, 6-18, and 21-24.
