Description
The Creeper is a DC Comics character with a dual identity as Jack Ryder, a television journalist, and an unhinged costumed vigilante with superhuman strength and agility. Created by writer-artist Steve Ditko, he first appeared in Showcase #73 in 1968. The Creeper is distinguished by his garish yellow-and-red costume, green hair, and a maniacal laugh that unnerves allies and enemies alike. The transformation between Ryder and the Creeper is triggered by a concealed device.
