The experiment transformed Sparky\u003cbr\u003e\ninto the worldÕs strongest man, as well as giving him the ability to fly and making him practically\u003cbr\u003e\ninvulnerable. Along with his pals Slap-Happy, the man with the worldÕs largest feet, and a diminutive and\u003cbr\u003e\nmischievous Chinese lad named Yoo-Hoo, Sparky would battle Nazis, monsters, gangsters and contend\u003cbr\u003e\nwith 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 strips\u003cbr\u003e\nwere reprinted in comics by Columbia. After Boody completed his service he went on to script new stories\u003cbr\u003e\nfor the comics. Although he never wore a costume Sparky Watts may have been the very first parody of\u003cbr\u003e\nthe superhero genre. The stories were incredibly well drawn, dynamic and very, very funny.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis volume collects the complete issues of SPARKY WATTS #1-4. This means you get all of the terrific\u003cbr\u003e\nback-up features including SKYMAN, THE FACE, BO, TREE-TOP TIMMONS and HONEY DEAR .\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\u003cbr\u003e\nfrom comic books that are seventy years old. The best efforts have been made to make the pages as\u003cbr\u003e\nenjoyable as possible but not every panel is perfect and some allowances for the age of the books need to\u003cbr\u003e\nbe considered when judging the overall contents.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RETRO COMIC REPRINTS","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44928957972641,"sku":"9798891525603","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/q6nydwq-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1747581605","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/the-adventures-of-sparky-watts-volume-three-black-white-edition","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
