Edward Morgan Blake was born in 1924. Almost nothing is known about Blake's early life. In 1939, Blake became a costumed adventurer known as the Comedian, wearing a gaudy yellow-and-purple boiler suit and domino mask. He gained city-wide attention after he thwarted a robbery of a jewelry store in SoHo. He also had a number of highly publicized clas...
Joining the Minutemen
In the fall of that year, Blake read an advertisement in the New York Gazette written by Nelson Gardner with the help of Laurence Schexnayder that asked all other costumed adventurers to step forward, a unification that spawned the Minutemen. He was the sixth official member to be accepted into the group. Since he was the youngest member of the group he had always made jokes that he was going to outlive and even bury all of them, as well as always having been flirtatious with fellow Minuteman...
Assaulting Silk Spectre
On October 2, 1940, Blake attempted to sexually assault Silk Spectre while she was getting dressed. At the time, he was 16 and she was 20. As she exclaimed 'no' to his sexual advances, he persisted and she clawed him in the face; Enraged, Blake punched her in the stomach and face until blood was spilling from her mouth and laid her on the ground barely able to move. Hooded Justice interrupted the assault in time and caught Blake with his pants down over her semi-conscious body. He savagely at...
Expelled from the Minutemen
Blake had been expelled from the Minutemen with minimal publicity, but Sally Jupiter's agent, Laurence Schexnayder, persuaded her not to press charges against him for fear of what it would do to the group's image, so he continued his profession on his own,although his self-restraint continued to slip.
New Costume
Following his expulsion from the Minutemen, Blake continued to fight criminals as an independent costumed adventurer. In 1941, Blake was stabbed by a small-time hoodlum and was seriously injured. Due to this, he decided to upgrade his costume into a leather-based uniform for his own protection,and began carrying a pistol.
War Hero
In the 1940s, Blake was drafted into World War II, where he served as a special operative for the OSS and Army Intelligence. He gained recognition as a war hero for his efforts and successes. In May 6th, 1945, Blake made a bet with a military officer that he could kill all seven Japanese prisoners of war with just eight bullets at a range of 50 paces. Blake shot and killed seven Japanese prisoners of war. Blake was court martialed for the incident, but the charges were dropped due to lack of...
House UnAmerican Activities Committee
During the 1950s, while his former peers were column-fillers, Blake flourished as the only masked adventurerleft still making headlines due to his government connections which were transforming him into a sort of patriotic symbol of American justice. During the House UnAmerican Activities Committeehearings, Blake was the only vigilante not forced to testify due to his involvement with the government. In 1960, Blake and other former Minutemen attended a Red Cross charity event for the India Fa...
The Crimebusters
Hollis Mason, the original Nite Owl, had published his autobiography Under the Hood in 1966 and he disclosed the Comedian's sexual assault on Sally Jupiter, though Blake never sued the author. That same year, he was invited to join the Crimebusters by Captain Metropolis, but he quickly ruined the older hero's hope of a new team by mocking him, claiming he was only doing it for vanity and glory, and even set his display on fire while saying that old fashioned crime-fighting methods were useles...
Vietnam War
While in Saigon, he teamed up with Doctor Manhattan who joined in the effort in March 1971. Together they played a major role in the United States' war with Vietnam. Shortly after Manhattan's godlike powers forced the North Vietnamese into full surrender, Blake was confronted by a Vietnamese womanhe had apparently impregnated. He told her bluntly that he planned to leave the country immediately without her, and in a rage, she slashed his face with a broken bottle. Blake shot and killed her. H...
While on a plane during a mission in 1985, Blake noticed suspicious activity on an uncharted island. He infiltrated the island and learned of its purpose, the realization of which was severely traumatizing. Unable to bear the burden of knowledge alone, Blake broke into the apartment of Edgar Jacobi, who had fought Blake years earlier as Moloch the ...
On the night of October 11th, 1985, Blake was writing a personal letter to Laurie Juspeczyk until Adrian Veidt, who was controlling the island's activity and had bugged Moloch's apartment for his own reasons, barged in and attacked Blake, beating him up and then throwing him through the apartment window resulting in him falling to his death. An inv...
Eddie Blake's Final Message
When his apartment was broken into, he was writing a note to Laurie Juspeczyk. The note reads as follows: "Dear Laurie, I don't know what your Mom has told you about me but I really Well, I think that something terrible is going to happen soon, and before I die I just wanted you to know I lo" The note cuts off there, presumably when he is interrupted.
Funeral
Blake's funeral was held at a cemetery in New York City under the pouring rain. Because of Blake's heinous actions as a military operative, protestors chanted outside the gates of the cemetery. In attendance were Adrian Veidt, Jon Osterman, and Dan Dreiberg, and Walter Kovacs, the later who remained outside the gates of cemetery to hide his identity from the rest of them. His coffin was covered with the American flag.
Rorschach's Investigation
Following Blake's death, a rogue vigilante named Rorschach began to independently investigate the murder. While searching Blake's apartment, Rorschach discovers a hidden closet containing a costume and other items that indicate that the murdered man was the Comedian, a former member of both Minutemen and the Watchmen. This discovery raises Rorschach's suspicion of a plot to kill costumed adventurers ("masks"); his continuing investigation into Blake's murder leads to a much larger, more horri...
