Mystery Men Comics #3 is best known for its Lou Fine cover, but what does it have to do with William Peter Blatty of The Exorcist fame?
? Well, a reader named William Blatty was chosen as a contest winner of a one-dollar prize for the best letters received explaining what features readers liked from is 225 East 35th Street, New York City. According to the 1940 Census, Blatty's family's residence is somewhat vaguely identified on East 35th Street as"Apartments on NE corner of 35th and 3rd Av, Apartments at 209-15 E 35th", which might be a building or two away from modern-day 225 East 35th.
Blatty was born in 1928 and would have been the right age to have started reading comic books by the timehad launched in 1939. Overall, the idea that a then 11-year-old Blatty who lived in a specific neighborhood of East 35th Street and went on to a successful career as an author and screenwriter might be the same William Blatty who was a seemingly avidreader in the same neighborhood in 1939 is convincing.
