Flashback Friday: Sgt. Casey

Each Friday, I take one of the entries from my old Super Posts and expand it into its own featured article.

This week: Sgt. Casey!


Sergeant Casey is a Metropolis police that doesn't trust Superman and is constantly trying to catch him doing something illegal.  He first appeared in the Superman newspaper strip (Episode 14: "The Unknown Strikes", May 1940). Ironically, Lois calls him their "old friend" in his first appearance.


He quickly made the jump to comics in Superman #6 (July 1940) and became a mainstay of Earth-2 Superman stories. Over time he got promoted to lieutenant, and he made his final appearance in Superman Family #219 (April 1982).


A police officer named Casey was mentioned in Action Comics #1 (September 2011), but unfortunately hasn't been seen since.
