American Comics Update: Quirky Corner: Silly Super-Heroes
*Miscellaneous 1960 Onwards: The Silver Age certainly gave birth to some silly super-heroes, and we feature a couple from lesser publishers this update: From MF Enterprises, another in the long line of heroes to bear the name Captain Marvel; this one could split his body into six (or more) component parts to fight crime. Yes, there are surely a lot of questions you’d want resolved about him. Secondly, from Milson, Fatman, the Human Flying Saucer, with art by C C Beck. It does what it says on the tin: he’s a fat super-hero who turns into a flying saucer, as you do. All three issues in this update are squarebound giants, all low grade but all totally bonkers.
