Like you said, Frank, this could easily be adapted to the modern day. I'll take one-note plot device over anything DC puts out today.

And at least it got rid of Zook! The idea seems much better than the execution- I would have liked to see a modern take on this story, done before DC lost their collective minds...The King of Thessalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406771819941242204noreply@blogger.com
