Lance O'Casey is a fictional character who had his own strip in Fawcett Comics' Whiz Comics.[1] The stories were popular backup stories to the book's main attractions of Captain Marvel and Spy Smasher.
Character history
The stories featured the adventurous sailor O'Casey and a pet monkey, Mr. Hogan. Later on, O'Casey left his monkey and started traveling with a new first-mate named Mike Bellew. O'Casey and Bellew were down on their luck adventurers looking to transport cargo, search for the odd bit of treasure or help damsels in distress.
So far O'Casey has made only one appearance in DC Comics, in the 1998 Captain Marvel comic book, The Power of Shazam!, portraying an aged, yet feisty, sailor in issue #34.
