I have to say, the Wizard origin stuff is much wilder than I expected. To date, the only strips I'd read were him in present day, and didn't impress me in the slightest. But the idea of a revolutionary war super-hero inventing airplanes, radio (and steamboats!) is really stimulating fun. And it's well-handled on top of it. I am digging this.

Oh wait...This is the ancestor of the modern day wizard. Not quite as cool--it'd be more fun having the modern Wiz be a couple hundred years old--but it's still, for 1940, one of the only stories from that era that I'd say, "Hey--read this one!"

Stumbled onto this Wizard character. wow. This dude is so active his red cape never hangs. its flapping in every panel. Thanks to his super brain, he's like the Forrest Gump of super heroes. Always helping our nation. Look out Indians, Look out British. I do admire his penuche for inventing technology that helps him travel, or - he just decides to run really fast. love it! Chef's kiss.
