Image from interior of book.

Virtually nothing is known about the superhero known as The Green Giant. He does appear to be completely bullet-proof, super strong, and able to stand 15 stories in the air at his tallest. His surname is Brentwood and he works at a brokerage firm, but further details were never revealed.

His powers come from his belt, which include growing to tremendous size and flight.

Golden Age Appearances

  • Green Giant Comics #1:
    • According to the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide (2000), Green Giant Comics #1 was an experiment to determine if the company could profitably manufacture and distribute comics with their otherwise idle printing presses. The Moreau Publishing company believes the book was never released to news stands.
    • In 2007, a CGC VeryFine 8.0 sold at auction for $8740.

Notes

Although wearing long pants on the cover, the character appears in shorts throughout the story.
