Actually, Elvis Presley did "moonlight" as a crime-fighter, sort of. He famously had a meeting with President Nixon to work to fight illegal drugs (which is ironic, given that Elvis' cause of death was related to drugs, albeit of the prescription variety). I don't recall the exact nature of Elvis' work; it was more than just a figurehead and spokesman, but less than a full-fledged DEA agent.
And, Roy Rogers fought crime as well, both in the movies and on his early Fifties TV show (which, contrary to popular belief was set in a town of the then-modern West).
The closest he ever came to doing so superheroically, however, was on an episode of ABC's "Wonder Woman" during the early Seventies.*
*Something about organized crime rustling cattle that had been earmarked for GI beef dinners, overseas.
The Vigilante movie serial is a guilty pleasure of mine. Looked just like the comic book version, and Ramsay Ames, the female lead was just a timeless beauty. Also enjoyed the Rawhide Kid as a kid.
any chance well see totally spies or royal ray/planet terry nightman/prime or dp7 starbrand on upcoming covers? would like to see more harvey characters popeye things like that
That was what stuck out for me, too! The Vigilante was a cool character. Roy Rogers was a Country singer, but also a Western hero. What if he were a crime-fighter off screen...almost like The Three Amigos.
Maybe Elvis did fight crime and had to fake his own death to cover something or protect Priscilla...
Actually, I think he and Bruce Lee became bodyguards for some Asian crown prince Tim Drake once met (back when he was still plain old Robin III).
The Impossibles (from Saturday morning TV) were a rock-and-roll band (also called the Impossibles) in their other identities, as were the Sentinels, a backup feature in Charlton's Peter Cannon... Thunderbolt #54-59. And Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's 1950's creation Funnyman was movie comedian Larry Davis, who donned a clown suit to make fools out of criminals.
