The DC Bloodlines Podcast: The Origin of Captain Comet!

from Four Color Rolled Spine · host Diabolu Frank

"He was a mystery to himself! Why-- young Adam Blake wanted to know--  was he so different from other people? How did it happen that there was  no one else like him in the whole wide world? Where did he really come from? Who was he? All these questions which  might have unsettled an ordinary mind-- only served to whet the brain  and steel the mettle of the extraordinary youth who, without knowing it,  was fated to fulfill a grand and awe-inspiring destiny on Earth-- as  Captain Comet-- First Man of the Future!" This episode, we explore comics' first mutant super-hero, a prototype  from the Atomic Age who was a mental marvel and physical dynamo! Explore  his Strange Adventures from the June 1951 cover-dated ninth issue through the twelfth, plus comparisons to 1987's Secret Origins Annual #1. You can follow along with our reading at Pappy's Golden Age Comics Blogzine.
