The experiment transformed Sparky into the worldÕs\u003cbr\u003e\nstrongest man, as well as giving him the ability to fly and making him practically invulnerable. Along with his\u003cbr\u003e\npals Slap-Happy, the man with the worldÕs largest feet, and a diminutive and mischievous Chinese lad named\u003cbr\u003e\nYoo-Hoo, Sparky would battle Nazis, monsters, gangsters and contend with various nutty predicaments\u003cbr\u003e\ncreated 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 newspaper\u003cbr\u003e\nstrip. When Boody was drafted into the military during World War Two, Sparky Watts strips were reprinted in\u003cbr\u003e\ncomics by Columbia. After Boody completed his service he went on to script new stories for the comics. Sparky\u003cbr\u003e\nWatts appeared in BIG SHOT COMICS, the first issue of the short lived series THE FACE and in ten issues of his\u003cbr\u003e\nown series.\u003cbr\u003e\nAlthough he never wore a costume Sparky Watts may have been the very first parody of the superhero genre.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 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 may find\u003cbr\u003e\noffensive. This book was compiled with the best images currently available. That stated, these stories are from\u003cbr\u003e\ncomic books that are seventy years old. The best efforts have been made to make the pages as enjoyable as\u003cbr\u003e\npossible but not every panel is perfect and some allowances for the age of the books need to be considered\u003cbr\u003e\nwhen judging the overall contents.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44597987213473,"sku":"9798891524019","price":59.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/nvvk8qm-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1725404530","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/the-adventures-of-sparky-watts-volume-one-hardcover-standard-colo","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
