Golden Age Comic book Question?
Q. I'm playing a jeopardy -esque game with a friend of mine. He fancies old comic books...anywho, his question was: This golden age superhero lived on his own private star, wielded a variety of different rays as weapons, once killed a villain by means of a gigantic gold octopus, had artificial lungs that allowed him to breathe in space, and once defeated a gang of fifth-columnists who had taken over the continent of South America. Any idea who this character might be?

A. "The Atomic Age" is not a commonly recognized comics era, it's really just a sub division of the Golden Age. The division between Golden and Silver Age is Showcase Comics #4 (first appearance of the second Flash) 1956. You're also missing the Platinum Age which refers to anything before Action Comics #1. Some more reading here Silver, Bronze and Modern comics are usually between 10 and 10 1/4 inches tall and about 6 3/4 inches wide. Prior to this there wasn't really a standard and sizes fluctuated between titles and publishers, but they were often larger than these dimensions. I pulled out two quick examples to measure for you: Tales from the Crypt #33 (1953) is 7 1/4 inches wide and 10 1/4 inches tall. My copy of National Comics #18 (19 [cont.]

Help with a few character names?
Q. This is for one of the many manuscripts floating around in what could loosely be called my 'brain'. I usually end up choosing my characters' names myself, but I have gotten some good inspiration here, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Here are their descriptions {they're all between 16-18 years of age}: Character One: Main character. Born on December 5. She has long, loosely curled blue-black hair, blunt bangs that brush her eyelashes and hazel-brown eyes. Very pale skin with a few freckles dotted here and there over a sharp nose. She has an oval face and is near-sighted so she often wears silver, wire-rimmed glasses. She isn't all that concerned with what she looks like, but generally has a bit of a bohemian style. She is very bookish… [cont.]

A. Character 1: Harlow (sounds pretty, but like the girl would be totally brilliant) Character 2: Brayden(sounds like an athlete, hot guy you'd want to be around) Character 3: Alexis(sounds bubbly and cool) Character 4: Andrew/Drew(sounds geeky, but kinda boy next door adorable) Ooooh i think all these names work well to be honest, lol. idk i just thought of your descriptions and matched them with a name that i thought fit their personality/characteristi cs. i like how descriptive you were, i'd read it and i don't even know what its about lol. hope this helped good luck :]
