From Hourman: "The Minute Men of America" by Bernard Bailey, Adventure Comics #53 (August 1940)
Of all the characters to get a fan club at this point in DC history - albeit an in-universe fan club - Hourman would not have been the obvious choice. I guess it came down to the Revolutionary War's Minute Men being right there for the taking. And so, in this story, Hourman capitalizes on the ham radio craze to rope a kid into his new youth group.
Better not think of Hourman's drug angle at this point.
(To their credit, they appeared at least a dozen more times through the Golden Age, so it's not just a one-shot deal.)
