Imagine the horror I felt when when I opened the book and discovered a Cosmic Man with an advanced receding hairline. There is still no cure for baldness by the 30th century!!!!

And right Miss Terious was, in keeping this information from poor Rokk Krinn. There's nothing more devastating than looking at your hairline one morning and realizing it aint there! And the story I was referencing was of course in ADV #55 not ADV #51. Thanks for the correction

Baldness is cool in the future -- and this is six centuries before the Legion! Check out my new Power Club website! The Semi-Great Gildersleeve - writing, super-heroes, and this 'n' that

White. A blank page or canvas. His favorite. So... many... possibilities.

Well, IIRC, someone from TMK mentioned that they have been wondering about that ever since...so they finally hade the answer for what Dream Girl saw...it was Rokk's becoming the Time Trapper.

And the receding hairline thing explains why Rokk did it: no one knows you're losing your hair when your entire body is hidden in a giant purple cloak.

Just cause baldness is cool doesn't mean you don't miss the hair -- or other lost elements of youth. Check out my new Power Club website!
