Batman 50 Return of Two Face, which is the fourth appearance of Two Face.

Here is Detective 80 The Return of Two Face, which is the third appearance of Two Face. Name was changed to avoid confusion with Clark Kent.

In the syndicated newspaper strip, he was called Harvey Apollo.

Interesting !  Thanks so much !  I figured it had something to do with Clark Kent.  Seems kind of lazy in their part not to make the switch at the origin

Two Face is maybe my favorite Batman villian. Maybe even more than the Joker. I always liked his origin and the fact he could go either way with the flip of that scarred coin. Not a whole lot of GA cover appearances.

Batman #50 you have there is one of my favorite GA Batman covers even though I usually favor the Cat woman ones.

I like the two-face stories.

Kind of like a little PCH in Batman....

The action cover on Detective 80 related better to the Sunday strip than the comic book story.

It is possible to find those early Two-Face issues which have pretty good covers.

I had no idea.  Wonder if the Apollo last is a nod to the Apollo Theater since he is depicted as an actor.

From the first appearance of Two Face Detective 66, before the acid in the face, he was known as Harvey "Apollo" Kent, because he was so handsome.

DC was probably trying to hide the fact that Two Face was actually Clark Kent’s “half” brother...

Possible but I think it more likely a nod to the Greek god who was noted for his beauty.

The Apollo theatre although at one time was a “whites only” establishment was known for its African American crowd from Harlem during the Two Face creation period. It was a exciting period for the theatre for sure.
