Comment(s):

As shown in Spectre Vol. 3 #24; a rotund blonde police officer named J. Percival Popolaski tried to become friends with Corrigan after he became The Spectre, aiding him in his earliest cases. The character here is not a policeman and physically different. Post-Crisis, the two may be the same character.
