MAN OF HIGH CAMP -- TOWER COMICS' DYNAMO !!!

Dynamo, published by Tower comics, was always my favorite of the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents team.

Now that's a suit if armor!

Four issues of Dynamo were published, outside his appearances in the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents comic book. Wally Wood illustrated the captivating covers. A majority of the great artwork was Wally (Daredevil) Wood, along with Dan (Marvel's Capt. Marvel) Adkins. Writers included Len Brown & Ralph (Castle of Frankenstein) Reese. Other top Silver Age artists included Mike (JLA) Sekowsky, Reed (Creepy) Crandall, Steve (Creeper) Ditko, Dick (Sgt. Fury) Ayers, Chic (Thor) Stone, Joe (Creepy) Orlando & Paul (The Fly) Reinman.

From T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #1

 Dynamo was the alter-ego of Leonard Brown, a socially awkward, normal guy, when using the Electron Molecular Intensifier (Thunder) Belt, gave him the density of steel along with super human strength and a resistance to injury. The tools of the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents came at a price, like the belt which could be lethal if overused (half an hour.)
Ironically, the writer Len Brown, who wrote most of the Dynamo stories, wanted to use Thunderbolt (because of the Thunderbelt) for his hero. Dynamo was originally going to be the name -- of a villain! Wally Wood changed things up with using Dynamo for the hero instead.  

 Dynamo's main villain was the Iron Maiden, which had a fondness for him. Weed (Wally Wood's alter ego), of the Thunder Squad, also had a back-up feature in the Dynamo comic.

Story continues from Dynamo #4! Includes a terrific NoMan story by Steve Ditko!
