Quasar and Space Ghost

 

Quasar was one of those Marvel heroes that I expected to eventually break our and become a heavy hitter, but he never quite did.  Still, I generally enjoyed his appearances.  He did seem like he might have fit better in the DCU rather than Marvel - maybe it was his very Silver Age style costume.

I felt the same way, too, Ross. And you're right about his look. He was clearly modeled after the Silver Age versions of both Superman and Green Lantern. Which was definitely a good thing as far as I'm permanently concerned! What they (comic book superheroes) symbolized sixty years ago we are in desperate need of right now. I just hope we can get back it.

I mean, that costume (with a few minor alterations) actually predates the Silver Age- the original Marvel Boy debuted in 1950.

So, is Space Ghost an ACTUAL ghost now?
