Another "classic" that I've never actually read, but badly want to. the Human Eraser is one of those characters that you just know were created in a moment of desparation by a blocked writer scanning his desk for ideas. "...the Stapler?, The T-Square? Shit! I need a drink..."
According to the internet, the dramatic cover belies the inside story, in which the Eraser is merely a professional cover-up artist, "erasing" the evidence of any crime for a for a 20% cut.

Don't forget his shoes, which look like the graphite end of the pencil. They have a couple of features that I recall being... well not very useful, but it was an attempt to run with the motif, so points for that.
Stabby shoes, maybe? "Back off, Batman, or it's LEAD POISONING!"
He also appeared in Bizarro comics.
Which, canonically, was written by Bizarro!
