Where it came from
Showcase #65 was published by DC Comics in late 1966 as part of their long-running tryout series, which served as a testing ground for new characters and concepts. This specific issue is notable for featuring the first appearance of the Inferior Five, a satirical team created by E. Nelson Bridwell and illustrated by Joe Orlando. The book was developed during a period when DC was experimenting with more humorous and parody-driven content to compete with the changing landscape of the comic industry.
The Inferior Five was designed as a gentle spoof of the DC superhero roster, with characters like Awkwardman and The Blimp intentionally embodying ineptitude rather than the standard heroic archetype. While the series was a lighthearted departure from the grim and gritty tone seen in other publications of the era, it resonated with readers who appreciated the meta-commentary on the medium. The collaboration between Bridwell’s scripting and Orlando’s distinctive, clear-line art style ensured the title maintained a distinct visual identity within the Showcase catalog.
