Simon and Kirby created The Fly as part of Archie Comics attempt to ride the silver age
superhero craze. He flew through time at least five times, with the first episode (in issue
8, no longer Simon and Kirby) being a trip to 3rd century Persia. The Jaguar also trekked at
least six times starting in Pep 5 (Oct 1961) and continuing in the Man of Feline’s
own comic book, Adventures of the Jaguar as well as Laugh Comics. And the
Shield had some time-travel adventures, beginning in The Fly 37 (May 1966) where he
met a gladiator from the future.
My colleagues, clever as they are, would never dream of the angle I’ll use to
get rid of the Fly! I’ll destroy him with beauty!
