![]() ![]() Perhaps Bates and Weisman were being bold. So it was an issue for some reason back then and in some places still an issue today. And if I recall correctly, DC got hate mail for hooking Peggy up with a black man. I suppose it was a different time and Nate himself was a product of 1950s America, but I just wish they had left that aspect of the relationship alone. But to bring race into it left a bad taste in my mouth even then. I can get onboard with him having a problem about the age difference (it is his only daughter, after all). I remember when I first read this back in the 80s and wishing Nate hadn’t mentioned the race thing. He’s worried because Goz is twice his daughter’s age and black. When Peggy and Goz leave, Nate and Goz share a tense handshake.Īfter they are gone, Nate confides in his girlfriend that he’s uneasy about this union. He starts to voice his objection but a quick under-the-table kick from Starshine shuts him up. She really wants her father’s blessing, but Nate is not yet ready to give it. Nate is, of course, shocked by this news. Meanwhile, at a nice outdoor restaurant, Nate and Starshine are having lunch with Peggy and Goz when Peggy finally drops the bombshell that she and Goz are engaged. Megala and Babylon take their leave of Homer, saddened by his mental state and sure he’ll never be able to run his father’s company. Homer was initially locked up because he stalked and kidnapped Peggy Eiling, pretending to be her believed-to-be-long-dead father Nathaniel Adam. Megala himself has been appointed Executive Officer of the Lockleed Corporation, until such time as Homer is deemed competent by his doctors. Megala gives Homer a copy of his father’s will, which hands the company over to Homer. Megala and Babylon approach Martin’s son, Homer, to give him the bad news. They use their shock batons and electrocute the wealthy man. What actually met him there were uniformed mercenaries who surround him before identifying themselves as servants of the Faceless One. He received a message, supposedly from Captain Atom, to meet him at one of his hangars at midnight. This issue begins with the murder of millionaire aircraft industrialist Martin Lockleed. ![]()
