Golden Age idol--Mark Swift And The...What The #$%^?!?

Next up on Golden Age Idol, a sure-fire winner:

Yup, Mark Swift and the....huh?

O...K...

Curious way to...um...phrase things. Surely they didn't keep that title throughout the series??

O...K...

So what the hell was the deal, anyway?

Sorry, I know that's tough to read. Mark Swift was really the sidekick in these stories, an orphan who lived with grade school teacher Rodney Kent. Mr. Kent also "discovered the amazing principle of time travel in his spare time." Geez, I guess teachers are underpaid.

So this grade school teacher went into his basement and whipped up...uh...a....

Time retarder.

Man, I really can't go on here. Time retarder? What the #$%^?!?

Now look--you've upset Paula:

Sorry, Mark Swift, you're rejected. Get out.

Mark Swift And The Time Retarder ran in Fawcett's Slam-Bang Comics and Master Comics in the early 1940s.
