Have you ever heard of “lobster Johnson” from the hellboy comics? He seems like a very intentional homage to pulp hero’s like the ones you tend to talk about,

I was reminded of him since he also burns his logo into the criminals he fights, although he uses a branding iron built into his glove instead of acid

He had a few miniseries of his own that where kind of hellboy spinoffs, and as I recall it didn’t really require knowledge of the mainline comics to understand what’s happening even if you’ll miss sone of the Easter eggs lol.

Yes, i have read most of his stories at least twice.

And he very definitely is inspired by the old school Pulp heroes, and he's one of my faves, I have featured him as a Pulptoebr alt more'n once.

he's interested because he seems to mix 'n' match the tropes of more than one Pulp Hero archetype, making him very solidly his own thing rather than a specific expy.
