Hit Comics #1 (July, 1940)
The Red Bee is a superhero from the Golden Age of Comics who first appeared in Hit Comics #1, published in July of 1940 by Quality Comics. The character was later obtained by DC Comics.
The Red Bee's secret identity is Rick Raleigh, Assistant District Attorney in Superior City. His superhero modus operandi is to put on a red costume and, with his trained bees and "stinger gun", fight Nazis and gangsters. The character never became very popular, and was largely forgotten until he reappeared in DC Comics' All-Star Squadron, where it was retconned that he had been killed by the Nazi supervillain Baron Blitzkrieg. He also appeared as a ghost in the pages of Starman.
