Don McGregor wrote and Gene Colan provided pencils for both series.[1] McGregor has said that he based Dusk on characters played by actor Robert Culp. He had been watching I Spy, a series starring Culp, when the idea of Nathaniel Dusk came into his mind.[citation needed]
Fictional character biographyedit
Dusk operates out of New York City in the 1930s. He served in the United States armed forces in World War I and was hired by the New York City police force. Dusk fell in love with Joyce Gulino, a beautiful young saleswoman with two children, Jennie and Anthony. Gulino's ex-husband was a gangster named Joseph Costilino. Costilino later killed his family.[1]
The 2017-2019 miniseries Doomsday Clock, by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank, portrays Nathaniel Dusk in the DC Universe as a noir film character portrayed by fictional actor Carver Colman.[2][3] In 1954, Carver Colman is found bludgeoned to death with the award that he won.[4] Colman having been the first actor whom Doctor Manhattan met after traveling to the DC Universe, he served as an "anchor" for Manhattan as he adjusted to life there.[5]
