Electroman Ad-1977

From the earliest days of computer electronics for home use comes Ideal's ELECTROMAN. I was 18 when he came out but somehow have no memory of this one at all. Below the pic is a nice update from someone who does if you're interested.

Harlan Ellison and Robin Williams on L. Ron Hubbard

This clip is all over the Net but I was unable to come up with anything explaining what circumstances led to this seemingly bizarre pairing. Still, anything Harlan says is worth listening to and the unusually quiet Williams seems to know that, too!

Jason King

JASON KING starred actor Peter Wyngarde in a continuation of his DEPARTMENT S role as the title character. It never aired here and I've never been able to find a single episode but I've always felt it looked cool. In Marvel's X-MEN of just a few years later, "Jason Wyngarde" (secretly Mastermind) appeared looking much like Peter in this series.

Dick Tracy and Joe Jitsu

Politically incorrect but in the early sixties, one of my favorite cartoon series.

Chuck Berry and Trini Lopez-circa 1963

Armored Bikini Girl!

So apparently there was a point in early 1974 when Gil Kane had this model done up in a silvery metal bra with a red...whatever you call it tied around her waist. She was a good model maybe but perhaps not cheap so foxy Ol' Gil figured to get the best possible use out of her poses by recycling them all year long at Marvel! Around March she appears on THOR 223 as drawn by Kane and inked by Frank Giacoia (with her hair apparently miscolored as blonde)and that very same month, by Gil with Ralph Reese, she adorns the THONGOR cover of CREATURES ON THE LOOSE. Three months later, "Sugar" Kane trots her out again for issue 15 of KULL THE DESTROYER. These are just the first three I saw! For all I know, he may have used her again that year! Anyone else seen her around?
