Once upon a time people had to entertain themselves on a regular basis. Philo was still staring at corn fields and Net was for fishing. What's a poor bored person to do?
I've made no secret of my fondness for boy genius/inventor comics, and i think we can find a bit help from some of them. So, let's jump back about 80 years and get some advice on how to build some fun from one we've yet to meet - Edison Bell.
By this point, you might be wondering "Who the hell was Edison Bell?" (because it rhymes)
Let's visit Blue Bolt #1 and get a peek, shall we?
Edison was around for quite a while. The Grand Comics Database lists nearly 200 appearances (likely including some reprints).
Next time we visit with him, we'll look at more of his comics and not just the Make'em pages that appear at the end.
