It seemed like any company that had a fellow who could two-finger type and another who knew that the pointy end of the pencil went down took a shot at publishing a comic. Hoping, of course, to strike super-hero gold.<br /><br />I remember it well, and I confess that, in my youthful exuberance, I picked up my share of these fly-by-night comics. Including <i>Superheroes</i> # 1. I still have it, in one of my long boxes that haven't been opened in decades.<br /><br />I only had that one issue, so I never knew that, in # 4, the kids absorbed the androids' respective super-powers into their own bodies. It occurs to me that Dell sabotaged its own series.<br /><br />Not that <i>Superheroes</i> had much of a shot at succeeding in the long run, but at least it had a germ of a good idea. A fresh one, anyway, in the concept that the teens had to transfer their minds into android bodies to do their super-heroing.<br /><br />And what does Dell do? It eliminates that one bit of originality. Instead, it turns the "Fab 4" youthful leads into a low-rent version of the Teen Titans. (And given the way <i>The Teen Titans</i> was written in those days, a low-rent version was quite low, indeed. An ant's-eye view.)Commander Bensonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12464833.post-61224037560755044142010-12-10T09:44:07.937-08:002010-12-10T09:44:07.937-08:00Rereading these makes me realize how little taste ...Rereading these makes me realize how little taste I had as a child.<br />-FraserAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12464833.post-60911785808855964102010-12-10T07:55:51.836-08:002010-12-10T07:55:51.836-08:00On Super Heroes, Trapani's ghost penciller is ...On Super Heroes, Trapani's ghost penciller is Bill Fraccio; inked by Tony Tallarico, Fraccio pencilled Frankenstein, Dracula, and Werewolf for Dell.Martin OHearnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14756078371130519063noreply@blogger.com
