I want to make up a nickname for myself too, but I can't decide between
"Batman", "Mighty Mouse" or "Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius". :)
Johhny Hazard was a (US) comic book character from the 1940's and 1950's, by
Frank Robbins. Hearst is a publishing company, who probably now owns the
rights to the books and character.
Check with a lawyer to see for sure, but your friend is probably screwed.
That's what you get for being Johnny Hazard.
