Adventure Comics (1938) #44
#that Wesley got shot and then was hospitalized and then has ‘long days of struggle’ to recover#that we see him in a hospital bed talking about how it’s only another week until he can get on the case#seems really unique#I’m not used to that approach to injuries in Golden Age comics#and I like how he breaks into the mostly above board store to steal the information he needs#while expecting that the owner won’t report the theft for fear it would make them look bad to the police#he’s operating on a thin little line here to not get the police after the Sandman#and I also like the bit where Wesley goes out and pretends to be really drunk to create an alibi for himself#which is the first time we’ve seen him using his millionaire playboy persona to protect his secret identity#it seems that his reputation is largely positive#a previous story portrayed him as a successful inventor#we also know that he was in the navy#and the police commissioner was willing to share information with him#but the drunkenness story doesn’t really reflect well on him#the article says ‘he’ll have to be leaving town unless he slows down’#and Wes says that he assumes the Commissioner will assume he’s drowning his nerves#presumably from that he got shot recently#dc#wesley dodds#my posts#comic panels
