Nightmare And Sleepy

Here is another interesting and (to me anyway) little known comic book crimefighter:  "Nightmare" and his sidekick "Sleepy."  Like Batman, this hero had no super powers.  His secret identity was that of a pro wrestler.  Sleepy was his teenage manager.  I'm not sure if "Sleepy" inspired the same level of dread in evildoers as Nightmare.  Four Color Shadows posted this 1943 issue of the comic.
