'Things Everyone Forgets About DC’s Dr. Occult'

1/ He even predates the actual name “DC Comics” having been first published when the company was called “National Allied Publications” in New Fun Comics #6.
2/ Dr. Occult was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the creators of Superman.
3/
'Dr. Occult is cut from the hard-boiled, square-jawed detective paradigm with supernatural elements added. His reliance on a trenchcoat, fedora, and suit in battle has become a staple for the “mysterious male magician hero.” So much so, when Occult, John Constantine, the Phantom Stranger, and Mr. E gathered to question new mage Timothy Hunter, Constantine dubbed the quartet “The Trenchcoat Brigade.”
4/ ' the case could be made that Dr. Occult is actually DC/National’s first caped superhero instead of Superman. Although, Occult’s caped appearance didn’t appear in a National Allied Publications book nor was he called Dr. Occult. The character appeared in Centaur Publications' The Comic Magazine #1. In this story, he was called “Dr. Mystic” and wore a cape and flew. The story, called “The Koth and The Seven” was continued in DC Comics More Fun Comics #14-17 with Dr. Occult, so the first story was considered canon.'

Excellent summary! I just wanted to point out that in the "Dr. Mystic" story, it is Zator who wears the cape, not the doctor--and it looks like Zator's the one doing the flying with the doctor in tow. However, in a later part, he's given the same red cape and blue undies and appears to fly. Definitely a precursor to Supes!

This is missing the first two comic strips.
