The main heroes were two kids, Christopher King and Victoria Grant, who had "Hero" Dials which gave them a different hero identify every time they dialed the leters H-E-R-O. Since they would go through several identies in each story, these heroes, and the villains they would fight, were provided by the readers, who would recieve a credit in the book and a great shirt that read "I Dialed 'H' For Hero." For this issue Ellison created the villain the Silver Fog who fights the Hero's Windsong (created by Frank Mills, Jr, age 17) and Captain Electron (created by Stephen DeStefano, age 14, So. Ozone Park, NY). Ellison's credit reads "The Silver Fog was created by Harlan Ellison, Age 46, Sherman Oaks, CA." He is the oldest "creator" in the book by twenty years. |
