The Shape by Roy Thomas and the late Richard "Grass" Green in
Charlton Premiere #1 is one of the strangest features ever. Created in the tradition of successful stretchy and shape-shifting heroes like
Plastic Man,Mister Fantastic,and Elongated Man,the Shape was something different still.
Charlton Premiere is The Shape's sole appearance, but it's not too much to say that his wacky nature and shape-shifting ways might indeed have inspired a certain Energy Man who appeared in the Charlton line-up a few years later.
They have much in common, especially a truly wacky sense of humor.
Here from 1967 is "It's The Shape!" by Thomas and Green. Enjoy!
Now that was different. We now return your blog watching to you. We control the vertical; we control the horizontal; we control...Ah forget it! Have a nice day.

These look to be Charlton's answer to DC's Showcase, especially when you consider Dick Giordano was on board. The stories were hit and miss, but all had that special Charlton charm.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. There's a magic here somewhere.
