{"product_id":"sparky-watts-giant-size-volume-one-black-white-edition","title":"SPARKY WATTS GIANT-SIZE  VOLUME ONE BLACK \u0026 WHITE EDITION","description":"\u003cp\u003eHumor, action, super heroics, warfare and even more comedy were all facets of the Sparky Watts\u003cbr\u003e\ncomics. Sparky Watts was working his way through college when he met Doctor Static and agreed to\u003cbr\u003e\nbe the guinea pig for Dr. StaticÕs new invention, the cosmic ray machine. The experiment transformed\u003cbr\u003e\nSparky into the worldÕs strongest man, as well as giving him the ability to fly and making him\u003cbr\u003e\npractically invulnerable. Along with his pals Slap-Happy, the man with the worldÕs largest feet, and a\u003cbr\u003e\ndiminutive and mischievous Chinese lad named Yoo-Hoo, Sparky would battle Nazis, monsters,\u003cbr\u003e\ngangsters and contend with various nutty predicaments created by Dr. StaticÕs most recent invention.\u003cbr\u003e\nSparky Watts was created by Gordon G. ÒBoodyÓ Rogers in 1940 and originally was published as a\u003cbr\u003e\nnewspaper strip. When Boody was drafted into the military during World War Two, Sparky Watts\u003cbr\u003e\nstrips were reprinted in comics by Columbia. After Boody completed his service he went on to script\u003cbr\u003e\nnew stories for the comics. Sparky Watts appeared in BIG SHOT COMICS, the first issue of the short\u003cbr\u003e\nlived series THE FACE and in ten issues of his own series.\u003cbr\u003e\nAlthough he never wore a costume Sparky Watts may have been the very first parody of the\u003cbr\u003e\nsuperhero genre. The stories were incredibly well drawn, dynamic and very, very funny..\u003cbr\u003e\nThese stories are a product of their times and there are images and comments that some people\u003cbr\u003e\nmay find offensive. This book was compiled with the best images currently available. That stated,\u003cbr\u003e\nthese stories are from comic books that are seventy years old. The best efforts have been made to\u003cbr\u003e\nmake the pages as enjoyable as possible but not every panel is perfect and some allowances for\u003cbr\u003e\nthe age of the books need to be considered when judging the overall contents.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RETRO COMIC REPRINTS","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44928957841569,"sku":"9798891525672","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/p6e6mwm-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1747581591","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/sparky-watts-giant-size-volume-one-black-white-edition","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
