Classical double bass player and minor character from the "Case of the Gold Crow" story of comic book Spark Man Comics #1 1945, published by Frances M. McQueeny. Only one issue was ever made.
He's a co-worker of famous violinist Omar Kavak (secretly superhero The Spark Man); they speculate on a recent string of thirty-one (!) mysterious murders, Kavak says they must be done by a musician, as each victim is lured to their window by the "haunting melody" of "The Song of the Crow," then killed by a thrown knife with a gold crow on the handle.
When Kavak is nearly killed the same way that night, he becomes Spark Man and discovers the Gold Crow Cult is run by composer Merle Poole.
Written by Fred Methot and drawn by Reg Greenwood.
