When was Solomon Grundy born?
The process that turned Cyrus Gold into the creature who called itself Solomon Grundy took years. The minor gangsters the creature first encounter are the ones who point out that it is a Monday and decide to call the brute Solomon Grundy. Science-fiction writer Alfred Bester, author of “The Demolished Man” and “The Stars My Destionation” was the writer who created Solomon Grundy, although I’m not sure if he wrote the other three golden age stories featuring the creature. And just in case you aren’t asking about the original Green Lantern’s most unusual enemy, the Solomon Grundy of the nursery rhyme was born on a Monday.
