Well here’s something interesting. I was a big fan of Steve Gerber back in the 70s, but I must confess that I don’t remember Omega the Unknown, though I think I owned it because having checked with Wikipedia (which does occasionally have its uses) I discover that the cover of #1 and the name of the kid are familiar (Lethem appears to have renamed him, which may be why the original FP post caught me off guard). Anyway, it all seems rather interesting. I guess a trip to the comics shop is in order.

Cheryl, did you know there is a massive Gerber collection coming in February? A Howard the Duck hardback omnibus, part of a series Marvel has been doing, massive tomes of 500, 600, 700 pages collecting classic archive material – so far they’ve been doing the big guns like Captain America, X-Men etc, but now Gerber gets the treatment, with a choice of covers to boot – just added it to the website last week when Marvel announced their February releases.
Aha, better start saving up then. Thanks!
