MINOR SUPER-HERO 035: THE HUMAN TOP

(Red Raven 001, 1940)


The Human Top is a guy who gets spinning powers after a science accident. The only really noteworthy things about him are that cool collar on his costume and the fact that he's one of the very few Golden Age Marvel characters to have never had any sort of modern appearance. Spinning powers aren't cool, I suppose.



It's kind of a shame that this is the first of only two appearance of the Human Top and the only one written by Dick Briefer - I really like the weird hyperbole and turns of phrase. Ah well, there's always Frankenstein to look forward to.
