No producer credits. Arthur Korb?

Pretty solid adventure, with nice art, and a mushroom cloud as a bonus!

The mostly black-and-white cover is also very spiffy--I like how the Power Records logo is sans color, too--nice touch.

The Amazing Adventures of Holo-Man

Or "What Happens When a Licensor Thinks They Can Create Super-Heroes, too." Holo-Man was a Power Records original, created by Vincent Fusco and Donald Kasen, written by Fusco and Kasen(plus, according to the credits, five more people!) and drawn by long-time comics pro Joe Giella.

I guess I shouldn't be too hard on ol' Holo-Man; Power Records' heart was clearly in the right place, it wasn't all their fault the end product came out so ridiculously goofy. I bet if this story had been written as a Superman tale most comics fans wouldn't bat an eye. I do love how they keep saying the word "hologram" in excited and/or hushed tones, as if its the most exciting technological development since the microchip.

Clearly, they intended to do more of these, since the story ends with a cliffhanger(oh, excuse me, a superiffic cliffhanger)...but as far as I've ever seen or heard, this was Holo-Man's one shot at comic book glory.
