  As Silver Age adventures go, its remarkably realistic, with a super-duper whose powers don't overwhelm the story, and that tries to deal with the then-ominous threat of Communist infiltration. As for the art, both Kane and Fujitani put together an impressive issue, with their art being pretty ill-served by some ham-fisted coloring (as well as the less-than-stellar newsprint of my original copy of this ish.) Four Color Comics #1330 (aka Brain Boy #1, since Brain Boy #2 picks up exactly where this issue left off) is an interesting case, with excellent art throughout, earning 3.5 out of 5 stars overall. It's clear why this concept, decades ahead of its time as it was, has been revamped in recent months (though it's a shame that Kane's not still here to provide art for the relaunch.) Read Full Review
