Does the name of this doctor have any relations to triskaidekaphobia?? 66.245.22.135 00:49, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)

To beef up the entry, I thought I would give some summaries.

Dr. Thirteen first appeared in Star-Spangled Comics#122 (November 1951). Terry Thirteen's family had been scientists who long faced violence for their pursuit of science. Thirteen's father set up a test for five years after his (the father's) death. Terry was to be alone in the family home and try to contact his father's spirit. The test happened, and although Terry heard his father's voice, he found a rational explanation.

In the next issue, Thirteen faced a maker of voodoo dolls. In #124, Thirteen investigated an Aztec structure called a "Suicide Tower". In #125 he faced a bogus "blind" man who claimed to have an invisible dog. In #126 he faced the "Phantom of Paris". In #127 he faced a criminal with the alleged power to astral project. In #128 he faced a woman who claimed to be immmortal, reviving infrequently from suspended animation. #129 involved the "Human Orchids". #130 placed Thirteen in a town afraid of the number 13. An individual profiting from this fear plots to slay Thirteen.
