In
the 1940s, superheroes were the primary genre in both comic books and
pulp magazines.
The skies and streets of pop fiction were filled with
people in capes, cowls, leotards, or some combination thereof.
And, of course, a superhero had to have a super-power or gimmick that would set him (or her) apart from the crowd.
Which leads us to our feature character today...
We at Atomic Kommie Comics™thought highly-enough of Sky Wizard that we added him to the Lost Heroes of the Golden Age of Comics™ lineup without hesitation!
Why?
1) He's "the Master of Space"! Catchy, eh?
2) He's a scientific genius! (Funky weaponry and modes of transport a speciality!)
3) He can't make up his mind about what costume to wear!
He wore a different
costume in each of his four cover appearances!
No fashion victim he!
(And you thought Marvel's Janet Van Dyne-Pym and Henry Pym had bulging
wardrobes!)
4) He appeared in Miracle Comics! ("...and if it's a good comic, it's a Miracle! Thank you! We'll be here thru Sunday! Try the veal...")
With a name like that, you know we had to find a spot for him, and his book, in our kitchy lineup!
So,
if you're looking for a unique, Golden-Age superhero-oriented gift
(shirt, mug, blank sketchbook) for your pop-culture craving sweetie, you
can't go wrong with a Sky Wizard gift under the tree (or maybe above it)!
I only see three costumes, the coffee mug costume, the satchel costume, the T shirt. where's the fourth? Don't you have an item to put that on?
