Blue Devil #28

In this rather ridiculous episode, Blue Devil fights a villain with the abilities and powers of your standard helium balloon. 

This would otherwise be a forgetful story if it wasn't for the inclusion of Bryan Buck. Buck was a teen who won the 'Why I Should Be In Dare Devil' contest. His idea was that with his ability to make balloon animals, he could help our hero by making weapons and vehicles out of latex and air from his lungs. And so that's what editors and writers did in this story.

Did nobody else submit an idea? How bad were the other ideas? The mind boggles at all of this. 

Blue Devil is noted for being an absurdist title. Maybe B. Buck's idea was the most far-out. But then I have to ask: what were some of the more 'normal' ideas that got rejected?

A very doofy issue for sure!

Rating: 5 out of 10 stars.
