Now we start to see the decline of the action-adventure characters. The superheroes and mystery-men for both 1943 and 1944 would barely number over 100, a significantly smaller number than any previous year since 1939. In just a few short years the novelty or inspiration for new superheroes was on the wane. Here are the characters for 1943 and 1944. 1943 January Boy King 01/1943 February Captain Wonder 02/1943 March Black Orchid I 03/1943 April Lady Luck 04/1943 May/June July Captain Ally (Cover Only) 07/1943 August Captain Red Cross 08/1943 September Airmale 09/1943 October Bingo 10/1943 November Miss America II 11/1943 December Grey Mask 12/1943 191943 characters with unknown months Molo the Mighty (AU) 1943 191944 January Boomerang 01/1944 February Mr. Nobody 02/1944 March Dash the Avenger 03/1944 April Ghost II 04/1944 May Grim Reaper 05/1944 June Blue Circle 06/1944 July Black Venus 07/1944 August Alias the Dragon 08/1944 September Captain V / The Puppeteer 09/1944 October Purple Tigress 10/1944 November Bogey Man 11/1944 December The Grenade 12/1944 And this ends the years 1943 and 1944.
