Jack Curly was an artist of the Marvelous Heroes superhero team who worked for the union president Stan Wee.

When the Bestest League of America and the Marvelous Heroes went to battle one another, both Stan Wee and Julie Schmartz, the BLA union president, arrive to tell them the strike is over due the US President and the Comics Code declaring the strike unethical.

When the Thang questioned Stan's authority to end the strike, Stan Wee threatened to have Jack Curly erase him.

Notes[]

  • The character is an obvious spoof of Jack Kirby.
  • Jack Curly is in the public domain thanks to a lack of a proper copyright notice (any work published without one between 1923 and 1977 immediately entered the public domain).
