Tadwallader Jutefruce
What a delightfully offbeat corner of the DC universe Tadwallader Jutefruce occupies — a Silver Age original who debuted in the pages of Justice League of America #40 in 1965, conjured up by the legendary Gardner Fox and Mike Sekowsky at the height of comics' most imaginative era. With a name as wonderfully eccentric as the period that produced him, Tadwallader turns up across a surprising range of titles, from the comedy-tinged world of The Adventures of Bob Hope to Batman: The Brave and the Bold, sharing pages over the decades with heavyweights like Superman, The Flash, and the irrepressible Super-Hip. Ten appearances spread across 45 years make him a rare, curious find — the kind of character that rewards the dedicated digger and reminds collectors just how wonderfully strange and wide the DC sandbox has always been.
