Penguin rewarded with cut-scenes of animated penguins marching, dancing, saluting and playing peekaboo. Several remakes and enhanced editions have followed, most recently in 2012. In 1941, DC Comics introduced the avian-themed character of The Penguin as a supervillain adversary of the superhero Batman ("Detective Comics" #58). He became one of the most enduring enemies in Batman's rogue's gallery. In the 60s "Batman" TV series, as played by Burgess Meredith, he was one of the most popular characters, and in Tim Burton's reimagining of the character in the 1992 film "Batman Returns", he employed an actual army of penguins (mostly African penguins).
The Lurker at the Threshold to the fictional book "Of Evill Sorceries Done in New-England of Daemons in No Humane Shape", Misquamacus teaches "Sorceries" to Richard Billington and imprisons Ossadagowah, a spawn of Tsathoggua, in a ring of stones. The same character later reappears in the early 19th century as Quamis, a servant of Alijah Billington and the guardian of his son Laban. Quamis, described as a Narragansett Indian, is a worshipper of Nyarlathotep. The character Misquamacus is also the villain of the 1976 novel "The Manitou" (which was made into a film starring Tony Curtis, Susan Strasberg, Burgess Meredith and Michael Ansara in 1978),
