GAY GHOST (DISAMBIGUATN)

The Gay Ghost buted the first issue of Sensatn Comics (January, 1942), the ma purpose of which seems to have been to provi a venue for Wonr Woman to star .

Thereafter, he equently exercised his abily to emerge om the body and functn as The Gay Ghost, a full-fledged superhero, but his other missn was to w Deborah's heart. The meang of the word "gay" shifted nsirably, and DC (which had e to own the old All-Amerin properti) wasn't keen on publishg any "gay" superhero. "The Gay Ghost" was a peculiar feature that buted alongsi Wonr Woman and Wildt the pag of Sensatn Comics.
