YES. Too many good characters in literature and the pulps. Although, technically, I think a lot of them have appeared in comics at SOME point, even if it was after the golden age, in copyrighted books. Heck, by that argument, most of the good ones have probably appeared in "Classics Illustrated." So, maybe the rule should just be if they've EVER appeared in any comic at any time. Still, it might not cover pulp characters and characters from sci-fi short stories which have fallen into the public domain.
