FROM WHENCE COMETH THE OMNI-MEN?

The Saturday morning television season of 1967 will, in my mind, probably never be equaled. The animated series 1-Man and Dino Sara had debuted the previous year, blasting open my 4-year-old imagination like nothing before it. I loved the show, and would never have dared to hope for more. Yet incredibly, the next year there were more shows added to satisfy the growing demand for pulse-pounding, adrenaline-pumping, animated entertainment.

There were The Mercurions, a human family on a far-distant planet fighting for survival in a primitive and dangerous world. There was Komakk, in the Valley of the Exiles, a stone-age superhero in combat against prehistoric monsters and demons in Earth’s distant past. Alan Kazamm offered mystical adventure in a land of magic, and Nimrod, the Hunter was a legendary-figure-as-superhero who fought supervillains in our own time, as did Icarus, the Man-Bird.
