Before He Was the Doctor...

...Tom Baker was: Power Lad!
A genius who, despite looking human, is actually an advanced alien?
Talk about type-casting!

(From Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #45, June 1960)

  1. I could do without him wearing one of Jo Grant's old outfits.

  2. Our local hobby historian/real estate dude is "Tim Baker," whom I have suspicions about also.
    I have to remind myself though, there is no "I" in "Doctor."

  3. I get my books from Carol and John's Comics. That name rang a bell with me for the longest time until it finally clicked: "Carol and John", "Caroline John", who played Liz Shaw (the best old "Doctor Who" assistant and I'd pit her against any of the new crop too).

    Also, about Tom Baker's costume there ... that's Power Girl's costume but with the boob window closed, innit?
