Who is the Groovy Ghost?

This About, Characters entry posted at 3:56 PM on April 10, 2007

The Groovy Ghost first came on the scene in 1966. After several brief but memorable confrontations with Mystery-man and his Mystery-family, he soon became considered as one of the core members of the "Mystery-menaces" rogues gallery.

He entered his career as a living man, leading a small group of goons into petty crimes with his ghost-themed gadgets. In the late 1980s, he was literally killed during one of his capers, but was brought back as a "living ghost." His lust for material goods changed, and his criminal acts began to center on appropriating items of a more creative nature.

The Groovy Ghost's silhouette first appeared in Local Heroes strip #75 (within Storyline 5 — “The Museum of Unnatural Mystery”). A more detailed image appeared soon after, in the same storyline, in strip #80
