Crimebuster – also known as
Chuck Chandler – is a fictional boy hero, appearing as the lead feature in
Boy Comics in the 1940s and 1950s. Dressed in a hockey uniform and cape, and accompanied by a performing monkey named Squeeks, he fights crime to avenge his parents' deaths. He is described by Joe Brancetelli in
The World Encyclopedia of Comics as "a hero, yes, but first a boy... arguably the best-handled boy's adventure feature ever to appear in comics." Some sources credit the character solely to
Charles Biro; others co-credit Bob Wood, co-credited on the first cover of the new
Boy Comics title.
