Police Chief Parker

Parker (Police Chief). The police chief of Smallville while Superman was a boy there. Now retired, Police Chief Parker devotes much of his time to his favorite hobby, whittling dramatic dioramas of Superman's teen-age adventures out of blocks of wood. When Metropolis television station WMET-TV inaugurates its new "Our American Heroes" series with a program honoring Superman, "our greatest American hero," Police Chief Parker appears on the show along with Superman's other friends and admirers—and proudly displays his hand-carved dioramas—to help pay tribute to the Man of Steel (Act No. 309, Feb 1964: "The Superman Super-Spectacular!"). On assignment for the Daily Planet in August 1964, Clark Kent and Lois Lane interview Police Chief Parker in order to obtain some little-known facts about Superman's boyhood (S No. 171/2: "The Curse of Magic!").
