Pinky Butler (Earth-S)

This version of Pinky, including all history and corresponding appearances, was erased from existence following the collapse of the original Multiverse in the 1985–86 Crisis on Infinite Earths limited series. Even though versions of the character may have since appeared, this information does not apply to those versions.
Pinky was created by an unknown writer and artist for Fawcett Publications, but the Grand Comics Database speculates that they were Otto Binder and Jack Binder. In 1953, National Periodical Publications settled a long-running lawsuit against Fawcett citing that the character of Captain Marvel bore too much of a resemblance to their own character, Superman. After settling the case (by agreeing to no longer publish Captain Marvel), Fawcett discontinued publication of their entire comic book line and Pinky lapsed into obscurity. In 1972, DC Comics licensed many of the Fawcett characters, including Pinky, and established that they existed on the fictional parallel world known as Earth-S. The Fawcett characters made several appearances throughout various Silver Age DC titles including Shazam, World's Finest Comics and Justice League of America. In 1991, DC bought the Fawcett characters (including Pinky) outright.
