| Charlton had a bald Watcher character before Marvel?
Who knew??? |
|
| And, like Marvel's "Watcher," he couldn't resist doing more than just watching! Eighty times a day? |
|
| Space Suds is a good story:-) |
|
| The statement on the first page of Space Suds is eerily prescient:
“Man is a fighting animal….Give man a sense of urgency, something that has to be done to save his fellow man…He will fight this situation, be it a flood, an earthquake, AN UNKNOWN DISEASE, or even an invasion from Mars.” |
