Dan Barry (cartoonist)
Daniel Barry (July 11, 1923 – January 25, 1997) was an American cartoonist. Beginning in comic books during the 1940s with Leonard Starr, Stan Drake and his brother Sy Barry, he helped define and exemplify a particular kind of "New York Slick" style which dominated comics until the Marvel Revolution brought attention to the Jack Kirby style. This style was characterized by careful attention to lines and the clear delineation of textures.
Barry's early comics work included Airboy, Doc Savage, Blue Bolt, as well as covers for the Captain Midnight comic book. After a period serving in the Air Force, Barry returned to comics. Barry assisted Burne Hogarth with the Tarzan daily strip; from 1947-48 Barry took over the Tarzan strip. In 1951 Barry revived the Flash Gordon daily strip. At different times writers Harry Harrison, Bob Kanigher, Sid Jacobson, Larry Shaw and Bill Finger contributed scripts to the series. In addition, at various times during his tenure, he was assisted in his artwork by a number of artists including Bob Fujitani, Fred Kida, Frank Frazetta. When artist Mac Raboy died in 1967, Barry assumed responsibility of the Flash Gordon Sunday strip also. He created the official poster for the 1980 movie version of Flash Gordon. After moving to Cleveland GA, he was assisted in his work by artist Gail Beckett. In 1990, he left Flash Gordon altogether, when the syndicate, King Features asked him to take a cut in pay.

Dan Barry (umpire)
Daniel Augustine "Dan" Barry (August 29, 1886 - February 9, 1947) was a professional baseball umpire. Barry umpired 132 American League games in 1928, 49 of them as the home plate umpire.
Early life and career
Born in Boston, Barry played high school baseball followed by semipro and minor league baseball. After an arm injury, he began a newspaper career with the sports department at The Boston Post. Having spent fifteen years as a college baseball umpire, particularly for Harvard and Holy Cross games, Barry was one of few umpires who would be promoted to MLB umpiring without ever officiating in the minor leagues.
MLB career
Barry was promoted to the umpiring staff of the American League for the 1928 season, the first Boston man to hold that distinction. Umpire George Moriarity took a leave of absence to manage the Detroit Tigers that year and he came back to umpiring for 1929. Barry returned to newspaper work.
In his lone major league season, Barry recorded only two ejections. His first was Lou Gehrig, one of six times that the Hall of Famer was ejected in his career. Later in the season, Barry handed Lena Blackburne his only ejection as a manager in 232 career games.
