Dr. Thirteen had left the pages of Star Spangled in 1952 when he reappeared rather
abruptly in 1969, in issue 89 of The Brave and the Bold, to guest-star,
along with many others, in a Batman adventure.
A month later, he teamed up with the Phantom Stranger.
He made a few appearances in this magazine, then fell silent again before
returning in issue 95 of Ghosts (December 1980).
He appeared in six issues and seven adventures, including three with The Spectre.
Generally, this kind of duo is never very promising; either it's a matter of making money
for a publisher, or it's a matter of reviving heroes who are losing momentum;
a combination
of the two is also possible.
We'll see him from time to time, as in the relaunch of Tales of the Unexpected (2006),
which didn't last long (8 issues), and other appearances that didn't change his fame.
We can still miss the original character, with his atmosphere that felt more fantasy than action.
But times change and tastes evolve; at least that's the publishers' credo.
Happy nightmares!
