Fat and Slat #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Voltage, Man of Lightning" kicks off in Fat and Slat #1 (1947), a 10-cent gem from EC Comics where a comic-loving kid named "Comics" convinces his friends Wilbur and Ajax to let their friend Rosalie join their club, "The Little Conquerors Athletic and Reading Club." When Rosalie shares a story about Voltage, Man of Lightning, "Comics" finds himself suddenly caught in the hero’s electrifying world—thanks to Ed Wheelan’s dynamic art and storytelling, all drawn and inked by the same hand. The cover, also by Wheelan, captures the moment with bold, expressive lines that mirror the story’s spark.
In "Voltage, Man of Lightning," Jo dreams of becoming a superhero after reading a tale from Rosalie’s comic, where the electrifying Voltage, Man of Lightning, strikes the page with daring feats. When Jo convinces his friends Wilbur and Ajax to let Rosalie join their club, he imagines himself wielding the same lightning powers—just for a moment, just to prove he belongs.
