I found this the most interesting entry because I did not know about the Canadian comic book angle. Many people (unless they are "Cooperites") are unaware that "D. B. Cooper" was not the alias used by the famous 1971 skyjacker; rather, he gave his name as "Dan Cooper" when he bought his plane ticket. It turns out that Dan Cooper was the name of a French-language comic book hero who was popular in Europe and French-speaking Canada in the '50s, '60s, and '70s. The fictional Cooper was a pilot who frequently parachuted from jets and even dealt with a skyjacker in one of his adventures. The FBI considered that the real-life 1971 skyjacker might be a Canadian, but relations between the U. S. and Canada were not good during the early 1970s. The FBI was refused permission to investigate there.
