This past week, somebody put out a graphic combining the new Steve Trevor from the Wonder Woman movie with the current Captain America (who as we know, has the real name of Steve Rogers) with the title Steves on a Plane.
Being the airplane/comics nerd that I am, I could not let that go past. So to Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues, I proposed the All-Steve Squadron, which includes the above and...
* from DC's War Heroes, Steve Savage the Elder, better known as Balloon Buster
* from Avon Comics of the Fifties, Steve Savage the Younger (Captain Steve Savage)
* from TV and Charlton Comics, Steve Austin (The Six Million Dollar Man)
* and from Archie Comics, Steve Stacey: Sky Detective.
I guess I need to get into Steve Stacey. He had a very very brief career. He only appeared in 16 PAGES in the anthology Blue Ribbon in 1941. His series was an okay idea for a comic, but the writing and visuals didn't work so it's no surprise to me that it ended.
In the story, Steve was a flight instructor who broke up a sabotage scheme against his flight school, and as a result, he got recruited into the Civil Aviation Authority as an investigator. In the course of his adventure, he also saved the life of a female student pilot named Joyce Barton--who appointed herself his assistant. Together, they fought mob hitmen, air pirates, Nazi sleeper agents and the like.
There wasn't much backstory for either character. It was alluded that Steve was previously a competitor in air races, and before that, flew for the U.S. Mail.
