ONLY APPEARANCE: Doll Man Quarterly #1 (Winter 1941)
Justin has a brainstorm. From Doll Man Quarterly #1 (1941). By
George Brenner.
Like George Brenner’s first Quality creation, the Hawk, Just ’N’ Right appeared
only once. Justin Wright was a lumberjack who had grown up as an orphan. One
day he received a telegram that summoned him across the country to the offices
of Cronin, Fox and DiPreta (also the names of Quality staff members). Mr. Cronin
informed Wright that this being his 26th birthday, he stood to inherit his parents’
fortune. He explained that after Wright’s parents were murdered, he’d lost track
of Justin, who had bounced from home to home. The newfound wealth was little
consolation to Justin, who would have much preferred to have known his parents.
At the home he inherited, Justin found some of his parents’ possessions. Among them was a sheer red scarf that belonged to his mother. At that moment, Justin vowed to avenge them by fighting crime. Wearing a blue suit and that scarf over his eyes, he hit the streets as Just ‘N’ Wright. Using “two rock-like fists as his only weapons,” he mopped up not one but two mobsters, and left a signature note for the authorities bearing his signal: the scales of justice.
