The Orchid, from Crack #27 (1943). Art by George Brenner.
The Orchid was a mysterious figure who appeared only twice in the pages of
“The Clock.” In Crack Comics #2, the Orchid is described by the Clock as a
mysterious woman crime fighter. Occasionally she would ask for the Clock’s
help by sending notes to Brian O’Brien, indicating that she knew his secret
identity. Brian also mentioned that he’d met her twice before.
