So, I've been doing a lot of research for a Clock story that I would like to write, and it's pretty widely accepted that Brian O'Brien is a "former district attorney."
However, I've read every story of The Clock available. The only two I haven't been able to find are the ones in Detective Picture Stories #2 and Crack Comics #19. In all of these stories, I have found absolutely NO evidence to back up the claims that he was once a D.A. He was always described as a "playboy," a "socialite," and on one single occasion, a "sports-man."
Can someone tell me if there is something that I've missed here? I've read these stories over and over, and it never once mentions him ever being a D.A. In conversations with captain Kane, current mayors, D.A.s, his father, colleagues, and even when unmasked by criminals, who should recognize a former D.A.
Anyone?
