The Human Light Bulb

October 12, 2011 by The Belated Nerd

I love superhero origin stories; even those that never went anywhere. My thanks to the posters at the DC Comics Time Capsule for this page scan from House of Mystery #117 (1961). Besides the human light bulb, the George Roussos drawn story, “The Three Who Changed” also featured a human acetylene torch and a human grasshopper.
