| The Charlton Action Heroes were the best hero comics on the racks during their short time. And Judomaster was one of the best!
The problem is that this origin was one of the best Judomaster stories -- and that all the other Judomaster stories were each one of the best Judomaster stories. DC's use of this character could best be described as -- a let down. |
