    Of the other Slam-Bang heroes, Lucky Lawton was another cowboy and so pretty much got lost in the shuffle of all the other also-ran cowpokes, War Bird was a pilot and got a few more stories outside of Slam-Bang, while the more unique Mark Swift and his perhaps embarrassingly named Time Retarder would be… wait for it… lost to time, after the end of Slam Bang’s short run in 1940 there would be no characters whose sole gimmick would be time travel until DC’s Rip Hunter, animation’s Mister Peabody and England’s Doctor Who all starting in the early 60’s.
