The Time Tunnel, Superman, Green Lantern, "In brightest day, In blackest night", The Phantom, Brick Bradford, Pink Panther, The Cage, Wonder Woman.

The Pink Panther cartoon series began on this day in 1964. It was one of those shows that didn't need words to convey humor, in fact, it still makes me laugh.

Bester's first published short story, "The Broken Axiom," was published in Thrilling Wonder Stories (April 1939). Bester continued to publish short fiction, most notably in John W. Campbell's Astounding Science Fiction. Bester left the field of short story writing and began working for DC Comics as a writer on Superman, Green Lantern and other titles. It is popularly believed that Bester wrote the version of the Green Lantern Oath that begins "In brightest day, In blackest night". Bester was also the writer for Lee Falk's comic strips The Phantom and Mandrake the Magician while their creator served in World War II. However, Bester gained his greatest renown for the work he wrote and published in the 1950s, including The Demolished Man and The Stars My Destination (also known as Tiger! Tiger!).
