RETRO REVIEW: The Adventures Of Holo-Man – Birth Of A Hero #1 (1978)

Or – “I Seriously Looked For This One FOREVER!”

I’ve mentioned it before, but comic collecting is a very hit-and-miss kind of hobby.  For every time someone walks in with a Budweiser box full of Claremont/Cockrum X-Men, there are half a dozen people who want 1,000,000 bucks for the 1994 reprint copy of Action Comics #1.  (These are, by the way, true stories.)  For me, my most difficult finds include a complete run of Howard The Duck Magazine, all the 70′s Atlas Comics, the Defenders issue of Marvel Treasury Edition, and a complete run of Jack Q. Frost.  (The Q stands for Quick.  It’s best not to ask…)  But even those peculiar gems were easier to find than today’s book, a strange and esoteric gem, featuring a guest-appearance by President Jimmy Carter!  I’m about to have some 1970′s-era fun, Faithful Spoilerites, and y’all get to come along for the ride.
