-'''Effron the Sorcerer''' is a [[fictional]] [[magic]] using [[supervillain]] published by [[DC Comics]]. He first appeared in ''[[World's Finest Comics]]'' #210 (March 1972), and was created by [[Elliot S. Maggin]] and [[Dick Dillin]].
-==Publication history==
-[[DC Comics]] writer [[Elliot S! Maggin]] was a student at [[Brandeis University]]. He was friends with Mark Effron, whose younger brother Eric is managing editor at [[The Week]] magazine. One day Mark's father, Irving, visited campus. Effron the Senior (Irving, versus Effron the Sorcerer) was -- and is -- a bigger-than-life, stocky, sturdy, stick-in-your-eye ex-Marine. Maggin was taken by the senior Effron and told Mark he planned on using his father as a villain in an upcoming series of comics he was planning starring both [[Green Arrow]] and [[Superman]].{{fact}}
-==Fictional character biography==
-Effron the Sorcerer is not the most famous of the [[Enemies of Superman|Superman villains]], but he may be one of the most diabolical. He appeared out of a fiery pit in the ground, surprising [[Superman]] at every turn. Effron commanded an army of faceless puppets, and threatened to turn Superman, as well as the rest of [[Earth]]'s inhabitants, into faceless puppets to add to his growing army. In addition to clashing with Superman, he has battled [[Green Arrow]] as well.
