As a kid, I recall flipping through the pages of Comics Scene<\/em> magazine and seeing an ad for this comic and wishing I could pick it up, as I had previously encountered the character in E-Man<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, after picking up that complete Charlton run of E-Man<\/em> recently, I decided I might as well grab this, too, even though I already have almost all of the content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are, however, some extra bits that aren’t featured in the E-Man<\/em> back-ups, and honestly, the art looks better in black and white than it does in color (thanks to the notoriously low quality of the printing press Charlton used).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More things are still on their way, so more Mail Call posts will appear as they arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
