Jonathan Sebastian "Jonny" Double is a fictional character in the DC Comics universe. Created by Len Wein and Marv Wolfman, he first appeared in "Showcase" #78 (November 1968).

Publication history

Double appeared in various other DC titles, including "Challengers of the Unknown" #74 (June-July 1970), "Wonder Woman", and "Kobra." Most recently Double was featured in "Jonny Double: Two Finger Discount", a 1998 four-issue mini-series by Brian Azzarello (writer) and Eduardo Risso (artist), and published by Vertigo/DC Comics.

Fictional character biography

Jonny is an ex-police officer and now a down-on-his-luck private investigator working in San Francisco. Decidedly anachronistic, his speech is laced with beatnik and 1960's hipster slang. As described in his first appearance in "Showcase", Double is "a down-beat Don Quixote in a society that frowns on windmills. A once white knight in rusty armor searching for that last dragon to slay. The poor man's Peter Pan."
