Each week, the pop culture website Pop-A-Looza shares some posts from my vast 'n' captivating Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do) archives. The latest shared post is a look back at my first exposure to a comic book character called the Red Tornado.
The 1940s version of the Red Tornado appears in my fanciful notion of an imaginary Justice Society of America movie, and that swell bunch of guys the JSA were part of my extended history of DC 100-Page Super Spectaculars. Going back a little further, my memories of reading comic books and listening to pop music while (in theory) growing up in the '60s are related in Singers, Superheroes, And Songs On The Radio: My Life In Pop Culture: The 1960s.
But today we focus on just one superhero, or rather two superheroes who shared a name and little else. The Red Tornados are the subject of the latest Boppin' Pop-A-Looza.
