First appearance of his feature: Adventure Comics #48, cover-dated March 1940 (and according to the GCD, on-sale date was February 2nd, 1940).

He was also a founding member of the Justice Society of America.

But, unfortunately, after All-Star Comics #7, Rex became the first member of the JSA to be removed from the line-up without graduating to his own solo-title (fellow Adventure Comics feature Starman took over for Rex in the JSA), and years later it was retroactively revealed that Rex had developed an addiction to "Miraclo", the pill he had invented that granted him one hour of superhuman abilities.

Hourman was included in the first meeting between the Justice League of America and the Justice Society of America (Justice League of America #21-22) back in 1963.

I think I have all of those issues somewhere! Always liked Hourman, the whole just one hour of power thing was an interesting concept.

Did you like the regular Hourman series written by Tom Peyer which started in 1999? I used to follow it for a while...
