Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox comic book title Blue Beetle is a long running comic book series that was first published by Fox Feature Syndicate before being a Charlton Comics title and currently a DC Comics title. The series starred certain characters with the same name.

Fox Feature Syndicate and Holyoke Publishing

The original Blue Beetle comic first appeared in Winter 1940 by Fox Feature Syndicate and Holyoke Publishing. It starred the original Blue Beetle named Dan Garret who first appeared in Mystery Men Comics anthology comic book series. He was depicted as a police officer who secretly dons a superhero costume to thwart crime. The series was the second featured title of a superhero in American comic book magazines after Superman having his own series. The volume series lasted until August 1950 with issue #60 when the company of Fox Feature Syndicate collapsed.

The character was revised and reprinted briefly by Charlton Comics with issues #18–20.

Charlton Comics

In 1964, Charlton modernized the Blue Beetle title. Garret got a new spelling for his last name, "Garrett", and a new profession: instead of being a policeman, he was an archeologist who discovered an ancient mystical scarab which gave him multiple superpowers. The series lasted five issues through March–April 1965. The Dan Garrett version would briefly be revised again in July 1965 throughout February–March 1966, lasting another five issues.

After the popularity of Charlton's new Blue Beetle named Ted Kord that was introduced in the back up feature of Captain Atom solo series in issue #83. Ted had his own series by Charlton which also lasted five issues between June 1967 and November 1968.

DC Comics

DC Comics acquired Charlton in the mid-1980s. They then revised Ted Kord with collaboration from Len Wein and Paris Cullins that lasted until issue #24 in May 1988.

After the death of Ted Kord, a new Blue Beetle was introduced named Jaime Reyes in Infinite Crisis #3. His own solo series began in issue #1 and ended in issue #36 in February 2009.

After The New 52 was launched, a new series starring Jaime Reyes was introduced. It launched in November 2011 and ended in March 2013.

DC Comics once again relaunched its titles with DC Rebirth and featured Reyes in his new series that lasted in April 2018.

A new ongoing series was launched in September 2023 as a part of the Dawn of DC initiative.
