| There must be a good story to the existence of these two Red Band comics. They are obviously the work of a major 'Shop' because the work is excellent and not a cheap rip-off.
This one advertises 'Bogey Man' on the cover but there is no 'Bogey Man' story on the inside. The 'Impossible Man' story tho, is great. Obviously brings to mind the Kirby and Lee character of the same name, but this guy is the exact opposite. This story brings to mind the Kurt Swan 'imaginary' stories. Comes to a dead end tho. Could have been a series. |

| The cover also shows villainous character "Satanas" (the green cyclops), who had his own brief series. He's not in this issue either!
Satanas and the Bogey Man appear together on the covers of Red Band 1 & 4 but they don't appear in the same story inside. I guess maybe Red Band was promoting them as the "stars." |

However, upon landing, he discovers that he is on the lost planet Brutus, where he arrested by Flatfeet Fogarty, who takes Hugh to see Super-Judge, who has Hugh packed in cotton and exhibited as a typical weak Earth freak.
