...Book & Bullet That picture is lodged in people's memories.

They are not only faster than a speeding bullet, but they can also do things like liquefy and multiply, or fell a foe with a laser-beam glance. The skies are guarded by Roger Ramjet, the seas by Marine Boy, the barnyard by Super Chicken. What they can't handle, Granite Man, Frogman, Coil Man, Spider Man, Liquid Man, Aquaman, Multi Man and Birdman can. Yet of all the offspring of TV's comic book...
