The Oracle

Character(s): The Oracle
Publication: Startling Comics No. 39
Publication Date: May 1946
Publisher: Better Publications, Inc.

The Oracle was an American with an uncanny ability to foresee the future. From what I've read (which is limited to this one story) this power manifests itself when the Oracle is unconscious.

The Oracle used his power to combat the enemies of America. He was assisted in his adventures by a woman named Lana Owens.

The Oracle appeared in Startling Comics 20-25, 27, 29-32 and 35-40; and The Fighting Yank no. 11.
