Reading Room: AMAZING ADVENTURES OF HOLO-MAN "Birth of a Hero" Conclusion

Art for this page by Don Heck and Joe Giella
During a demonstration to President Jimmy Carter of a new thermonuclear power system, Dr Jim Robinson, inventor of the system, is sucked into a wormhole where an alien being gives him laser-based powers, then returns him to Earth...
I'm afraid you'll have to miss it since the "next issue" (presumably the next book/record) never came out!

Pencils (uncredited) by John Buscema, inks by Joe Giella.
The only other Holo-Man art was the two splash pages (by Don Heck and Joe Giella) that bookend this blog entry and the painted cover by Bob Larkin based on the Heck-Giella splash page.

Reading Room: AMAZING ADVENTURES OF HOLO-MAN "Birth of a Hero" Part 1

The only super-hero created for audio...
...was based on the concept of using lasers to create holograms, a purely-visual technology!
Holy Irony!
 The startling story continues...
Written by Barry Von Name.
And though the art is attributed solely to Joe Giella, the pencils are clearly John Buscema, with Giella's inking.
You could either get the book/45 record in record stores or mail away for the book/record and a pendant using coupons like this found in Marvel comics. (I never saw one in DC titles!)
