Chief Clancy O'Hara is the longtime police chief of Gotham City. He is distinguished by his big Levitz-era bushy mustache, a feature that has not changed in all his comic book appearances.

History

Created for the 1966 "Batman" TV series, longtime Gotham City police chief O'Hara was also soon adopted in the comic books. O'Hara was first mentioned in World's Finest # 159 (1966) and a behind the scenes presence in SWAMP THING # 7 (1973), even O'Hara's first on-panel appearances in DETECTIVE COMICS # 461 (1976) and as part of 1977's DETECTIVE COMICS # 470 and 476 found his features partially concealed by devices like hand gestures and window panes.

Also in 1977, Chief O'Hara made numerous cameo appearances in the chronicles of DC's Golden Age heroes in ALL-STAR COMICS # 67 and 70. O'Hara later briefly became Gotham City's new police commissioner in the 'Huntress' series in WONDER WOMAN (beginning with # 281 in 1981) and he remained a recurring presence for the next few years.

In current continuity, Chief O'Hara has appeared in THE SILVER AGE # 1 (2000). Later, In Batman: Dark Victory # 1, Police Chief O'Hara was killed as the first victim in the series' sequence of murders by the Hangman.
